« El deporte es nuestro refugio » est un projet porté par l’entrepôt de Séville avec l’association CEAR, la commission espagnole d’aide au réfugiés.
The CEAR association
This association supports migrants who have recently arrived in Spain, the majority of whom are from Black Africa.
These people have been through a complicated, even traumatic, migration process, and have little or nothing to fall back on in Spain. 180 adults are housed in the emergency shelter on the outskirts of Seville. The association offers administrative support, workshops and training courses to discover Spanish culture and language, as well as professional bridges.
Le projet « el deporte es nuestro refugio »
Les équipes de l’entrepôt de Séville ont souhaité s’impliquer dans ce projet avec comme objectif : « Donner à CEAR les moyens nécessaires pour améliorer la qualité de vie des bénéficiaires grâce au sport, tant sur le plan physique que sur le plan de la santé, de la psychologie et du travail, améliorant ainsi leur insertion dans la société ».
In partnership with the association, the decathletes organize monthly sports outings with the adults.
In addition to the sporting aspect, the project also aims to develop the employability of the adults. 4 of them - Toko, Romaric, Leon and Dembo - have seen their lives truly changed by joining the Decathlon warehouse teams!
