Three sports coaches are supporting projects for integration and participation
"Sport integrates Hesse" in 2025. The funding provided will allow sports clubs to further expand their integration work, exercise programs for socially disadvantaged people, and initiatives promoting social inclusion. Due to a delay at the state level, the funds could only be accessed during the summer holidays this year.
Sport unites people regardless of language or origin. The sports clubs in Griesheim, with their volunteer work, make a significant contribution to social cohesion – work that is specifically supported by the state program. Funding is provided for sports and exercise programs, equipment such as sports clothing and materials, travel expenses, and the work of sports coaches who act as a link between clubs, initiatives, and participants.
Three sports coaches for Griesheim
Currently, there are three sports coaches available in Griesheim:
- Kathrin Witteborg , who works full-time and on a voluntary basis at TuS Griesheim, assumes an important interface function between the clubs.
- Maria-Luise Lenhardt , also a trainer at TuS Griesheim, is particularly committed to opening up the sport to all target groups in triathlon.
- Armin Vilic , who works full-time in refugee support, emphasizes: "Sport makes it easier to overcome language barriers. Sport is a great support for integration."
The sports coaches jointly emphasize: “Sport and clubs are an ideal platform for participation and integration. Everyone can participate in sports – regardless of cultural background, physical or mental characteristics, social status or age. The program enables us to develop tailored measures on-site with the clubs.”
