Werder Bremen’s initiative ‘Stay on the Ball‘ gives young refugees the opportunity to play football and be actively involved in the community. The club’s CSR brand ‘Werder Moves’ collaborates with local organisation Refugio to run weekly training sessions for young refugees, which includes girls, in four districts in Bremen.

The ‘Fit Girls’ program is a sport and leisure project that allows refugee girls aged between 13 and 17 to to come together and play sports on a weekly basis on Fridays from 18:30 to 19:30 at the Werder-Halle Hemelinger Straße and football trainings on Tuesdays from 17:00 to 18:30 at the Weser stadium.

In addition, young refugees are also involved in other educational and cultural activities, such as workshops, trips and video shoots.
