Football and integration: How SG Bornheim designs the future!

Seehausen, Deutschland - The SG Bornheim 1945 e.V. has established itself as an important player in the field of sports and integration. The association, which counts around 700 members in its football departments, not only offers sporting activities, but also social commitment. This emerges from a current report by the diocese of Limburg, which illuminates the news of the association. An important start of the association is to promote child and youth participation.

The club's own children's and family center (Kifaz) ensures that the members can take a wide range of offers. Particularly noteworthy is the current podcast episode of the "Haus am Dom" channel, which deals with football as an integration model. Dr. Harald Seehausen, board member of SG Bornheim, provides valuable insights into the connection between sports and advice in Frankfurt. The podcast is available on all common platforms and offers exciting perspectives on the role of football in society.

democratic structures in the youth department

Another remarkable project by SG Bornheim is the foundation of a "first children's parliament" in 2022. Children and adolescents, both girls and boys, as well as coaches: interior and members of the sports club are actively involved in the design of the democratic youth department. The aim of this initiative is to find answers to important questions: "What is good?", "What could be better?" And "What are the wishes?".

The association is also committed to child protection. A comprehensive "prevention and protection concept" provides to develop rules of conduct in the interests of child welfare and to promote the interests of children and adolescents. This concept is based on the children's rights, which were anchored in the UN Children's Convention in 1989. The creation of trusting structures is considered central to the social commitment of the association.

for an active participation of the children

On Friday, November 22, 2024, an event for children and youth participation will take place in the sports club in the club home of SG Bornheim. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the topics of child welfare and the commitment of everyone involved in sports are to be discussed here. As the sports youth Hesse emphasizes, the parties involved must not look away in the event of a child.

The SG Bornheim is therefore actively committed to ensuring that children and young people are integrated into the design of their environment and their voice is heard. This is also confirmed by Dr. Harald Seehausen in the podcast on the importance of integration and social responsibility in sport.
