In this episode, we explore the transformative power of sports with Roar and Gøril Wægger, founders of Sport 4 Understanding. We delve into their organization's mission to promote peace and unity through sports, breaking down barriers and fostering connections between cultures and communities.
We discuss the importance of creating a safe environment for participants to engage in workshops and activities that nurture communication, perspective-taking, and self-awareness. Along the way, we address challenges like language barriers and disrespectful behavior, offering strategies for overcoming these obstacles.
As we wrap up the conversation, we reflect on the organization's growth over the past decade and outline their future plans. We emphasize the significance of teaching human skills through sports and encourage listeners, organizations, and sports clubs to collaborate with Sports for Understanding in building a more understanding and tolerant world.
