The project, Horizon Cup, is not just about sports. It’s about using the power of sport to promote intercultural understanding and strengthen social cohesion in Hamburg. Refugees and Hamburg residents come together to play for a winner’s cup in several rounds of indoor football. But it’s the workshops on intercultural learning that truly open their minds. There, they get to know each other better, change perspectives, and support each other. The result is a social network that helps migrants settle in Hamburg, fostering a more enlightened and open-minded community.

A series of indoor football matches enables eight mixed teams to play in three rounds for the ‘Horizon Cup.’ With its straightforward rules and concept of fairness, the game provides a framework for having a good time together, even with limited linguistic understanding. Each match day will be a small local festival with sports and good food.

Parallel to this, workshops are organized for the participating teams, who are guided by experienced trainers to learn more about themselves and others and to reflect on how each of us can question our prejudices and basic assumptions to contribute to peaceful coexistence.
