Project Report | May 20, 2021
MicroProject Update 2021

By Iman Allawzi | Sports Facilitator

Habibti.Trains (formerly Women's Sports) has as you can see rebranded this spring!

Some updates from the ground:

Since January 2021, Habibti.Trains, even in COVID-19 Pandemic has a seen a big interest from women in the Katikas community. We have registered 50 participants. Our training schedule has also expanded to include, regular running and volleyball. Very soon in the next week we will also start with Bouldering activities. 

March 2021 we also had a visit from our partner on the ground: KOIZ Center for postcolonial studies. During this visit the project leader Emilia was able to support in the training schedule and structure of the program.

In April 2021 we also had a second site visit from a potential partner: Yoga and Sports with Refugee (YSR) based in Lesvos and Athens. During this site visit, YSR supported our athletes in improving their running and boxing technique. Our hope is that through this partnership, to recruit a full-time coordinator from YSR to run and expand the sports activities in Ioannina, Greece. YSR is especially experienced in enabling people from the refugee community to teach different classes. This is something we look forward to: having more instructors from the community!

Finally, in May 2021, we have Mai'Kai, a climbing initiative from Spain that is supporting in the construction of a multipurpose outdoor gym space, that also includes a bouldering wall. And finally looking forward:  in the next month we will have a training of the trainors with a Yoga instructor. 

We are very excited and grateful for these collaborations and partnerships. And as always thanks to your support and interest!
