Using arts and sports for mental health and psychosocial support in community-based protection

The UNHCR Regional Bureau for Europe is organizing an online dialogue with NGOs on "Using Arts and Sports for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) in Community-Based Protection". The online event will take place on Friday 24 May 2024, from 11:00 to 13:00 CEST. You can register for the webinar through this link. Participants will then receive a Teams invitation from a unhcr.org email address a few days before the event.

This discussion will explore how sports and arts can address the mental health and psychosocial support needs of refugees, while at the same time promoting social cohesion and inclusion into host communities. It will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and advocacy, fostering a deeper appreciation for the transformative power of arts and sports in promoting wellbeing within refugee communities.
