Event on the role of sport for integration and democracy

In addition to the holiday offers, EMTV recently held an event on the topic “Why is sport so important for integration and democracy?” organized in the Pinneberg district hall. This took place on November 29th and was carried out in collaboration with the Schleswig-Holstein State Sports Association (LSV) and the Pinneberg district. The event was attended by 47 participants from various areas such as politics, sports and society. It served as a platform for exchange about the essential role of sport in integration and social cohesion. The response from those present was consistently positive. emtv.de

A central topic of the discussion was the DOSB's “Integration through Sport” and “Sport for All – Sport with Refugees” programs, which are supported by the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of the Interior and the LSV. Jonathan Syring presented a qualitative study that included findings on strengthening integration pilots in Schleswig-Holstein. In the welcoming speeches by Uwe Altemeier (EMTV) and Doris Birkenbach (LSV), the importance of sport as a cultural bridge and for promoting democratic values ​​was emphasized. Syring also called for long-term structural and financial security for the integration pilots.

The final panel discussion with experts, including Karsten Lübbe (LSV) and Narin Rashid, provided valuable insights into the challenges such as building trust, language barriers and the inclusion of women in sport. Moderated by Benni Lumin Schmitz, the event was lively and well-founded in terms of content. It became clear that further political and social support is necessary to secure integration structures through sport. Politicians and decision-makers showed a keen interest in the speakers' concerns.
