Capoeira4Refugees

Overview

Capoeira4Refugees is an NGO supporting social capoeira trainers in conflict zones all over the world and creating a community of social capoeira project. It was ‘born’ in Syria and has been present throughout the Middle East since 2007, working with over 50,000 vulnerable children and youth and trained over 40 local trainers who trained others independently in their own communities.

Its main objectives are to increase the overall psychosocial wellbeing of young people impacted by conflict, to strengthen these communities by supporting local talented youth to become Capoeira Community Changemakers and to create a sustainable movement that can amplify their work at field level through developing a global capoeira platform. Delivering capoeira classes is C4R’s main activity; these consist of movement, music, play, sports, aiming to improve the psychosocial wellbeing of vulnerable refugee children and youth.
