Refugee Olympic Team – Always Hope, Always Stronger Together

August 7, 2021 by Ethnic Council

Host nations watch refugees participate in the Tokyo Olympics. Feeling stronger together, there are many proud moments as members of the Refugee Olympic Team achieve personal best results. Just as life is full of ups and downs, so also, the Refugee Olympians rise and fall in this and that sport, along with other competitors. What is important is that achievements are celebrated, humanity is one and competitors and athletes demonstrate the spirit of sportsmanship and go to aid and succour of participants when they fall. #StrongerTogether

For many refugees, their passion for sport is what keeps them going in the face of obstacles as they start a new life, in new communities. It helps them to make friends and rebuild their lives. We want to ensure every refugee is able to access sports. To harness their passion to be able to rebuild their life and fulfil their potential. More opportunities, bigger platforms. #cheerforrefugees
