Why Chosen
At the Center for Sport, Peace & Society, we believe sport is our superpower. And like every superpower, it can be used for good or evil - it all depends on whose hand it is in. When coupled with courage, compassion, and commitment to something more precious than gold medals and championship rings, sport has the power to unite, heal, and offer hope. Outcasts United is a beautiful story of the power of sport in the lives of refugees searching for a new sense of belonging and healing from the traumatic effects of war and violence.
