Jordan Special May 10, 2018

Show notes

Reporting “from the field”, this episode of the Good Sports Podcast features interviews from UNHCR, Right to Play, Cricket Without Boundaries and Equal Playing Fields, looking at how sport is contributing to addressing challenges of refugee integration and gender equality in Jordan. Lee and Sara spent 5 days in the country in late April delivering a pilot project for Cricket Without Boundaries, and the organisations featured here worked alongside the project team to deliver a joined-up and sustainable programme. We’d love to hear from you about anything Sport and Development related; if you have an idea, a news item, a question, or want to join us for a chat, get in touch on Twitter @goodsportscast or email info@goodsportscast.org.uk or visit our website www.goodsportscast.org.uk

Dave then chats with Paul Caccamo, Founder and CEO of Up2Us Sports, and covers topics including how the organisation works, engaging with donors and others to highlight the positive role sport can play in people’s psychosocial development, how they recruit, develop and train coaches, and the growth of sport and development as a field in the USA. We finish with our classic quiz, which this episode focuses on the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.
