Let's play project

Organisation: 
Dialogue for Life and Reconciliation Organization
Type of Organisation: 
LNGO
Launched in: 
2012
Description: 
DLR established the ‘Let's play project’ with four Muslim and Christian schools. At each school, ten students are selected to participate in playing football. As a first step the students from the different schools play against each other, but later the teams change allowing students from different schools to play on the same team. The duration and training of those students lasts for several months in order to ensure sustainability and to provide the students with the ability to form friendships in the course of doing sports together. The intention and reasoning behind this project is to move the spirit of young people forward from being and living near each other to being with each other.
