A ball against discrimination! #FootballPeople weeks 2019

How does football relate to women, the fight against discrimination and the social integration of refugees and migrants? We will try to respond through the events organized by the Greek Forum of Migrants in collaboration with the International Olympic Truce Center, specifically the program Hestia FC, the first women`s refugee and migrant football team, in the #FootballPeople weeks 2019 actions of the FARE network.
The #FootballPeople weeks are a global campaign to tackle discrimination and celebrate diversity in football. For two weeks in October over 150,000 people will take part in 2,000 events in over 60 countries to bring about positive social change in and through football.
