单集简介 ...

This week we look at two projects that show how sport can be a powerful tool for social inclusion. We go rowing with some refugees in Seville, Spain, and discover how being part of a crew has helped both adults and kids feel part of their new community. And we join a special scheme in southern England that uses football coaching to break down barriers between police officers and local young people. People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions. You can contact us on WhatsApp by messaging +44 8000 321721 or email peoplefixingtheworld@bbc.co.uk. And please leave us a review on your chosen podcast provider.

  • Hi there, Myra here.

  • Now if you listen to people fixing the world, why not go ahead and send me a message?

  • All you need to do is send me either a WhatsApp message or voice note to the number plus 448321721 or

  • if you prefer email that's peoplefixingtheworld at bbc.co.uk.

  • I'd love to hear from you.

  • Now let's find out about this week's solutions.

  • From the BBC World Service, I'm Myra Anubi and this is People Fixing the World,

  • a program that leaves you feeling optimistic about the future.

  • This week we're playing a game, well sort of.

  • We'll be kicking a ball about with some police officers here in the UK and then rowing along a river in Spain to find out how sports can inspire positive change and help people from different backgrounds connect.

  • Whether it's playing tennis, cricket or shooting hoops in basketball,

  • sport is something people enjoy all around the world and when it comes to these games,

  • differences in language, culture or religion are often forgotten.

  • In fact, the UN recognises the power that sport has to promote social inclusion for people of any race, gender or age.

  • And today we'll see how two projects are using sport to bring people together and to start off we'll be talking about football or soccer.

  • That's the sound of my family and I at a recent game.

  • Now football is the most popular sport today, followed by half of the world's population, so about 4 billion people.

  • And it's fantastic to watch, especially when you get to see a live game.

  • Everyone gets so invested and it's such a treat when you get to see your team score.

  • But away from the enthusiastic fans, fierce team rivalries and all the trendy merchandise,
