The Swiss Federal Institute of Sport Magglingen (SFISM) and SAD are developing a practical manual for sport clubs who want to use sport’s potential to improve integration of those from migrant backgrounds into their host society. The manual addressing the issues “diversity management” and “intercultural dialogue” in the domain of sport in Switzerland will be compiled and evaluated in close collaboration with sport actors and immigrants. The practical manual will be published in German and in French and shall build the basis for further education and awareness workshops in and with sport clubs.

Sport associations and sport clubs have the potential to improve the integration of those from migrant backgrounds, because they offer leisure time activities that actively engage those of all ages. The language of sport is also understood by all.
