The importance of volunteering for sustainable integration

We recently had the opportunity to report on the important role of volunteering at SPORTEGRATION on the GGGBenevol platform. We interviewed Vivi, one of our dedicated volunteers from Basel, who has been leading our yoga class for a year now - one of the most popular programmes in our community.

In the interview, Vivi explains how she came to volunteer at SPORTEGRATION via the Hanuman Yoga Studio and what drives her: the desire to "give something back" and the joy of connecting people from different backgrounds through yoga. She finds the feedback from participants after each class particularly touching.

Vivi emphasises how valuable sports programmes like SPORTEGRATION can be for integration. For the future, she hopes that awareness of the importance of sport in integration work will continue to grow and that young people will also be made aware of the opportunity to volunteer at an early age.
