Ven y juega

Ven y Juega or “Come and Play” is a sports-based social cohesion programme helping diverse communities in three regions of Colombia - La Guajira on the Caribbean coast, Norte de Santander, which neighbours Venezuela, and Putumayo near the border with Ecuador.

The programme is focused on young refugees and migrants from Venezuela, internally displaced and returning Colombians, and their host communities.

For many young refugees and migrants it can take a long time for them to feel a sense of belonging in their new home. Through sport and fuelled by our Olympic values, these young people and their hosts have a chance to build bonds, learn new skills and increase resilience, which improves their mental health and well-being.
