Symbol of Hope REFUGEE OLYMPIC TEAM SYMBOL OF HOPE HISTORY WAS MADE AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES RIO 2016 WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF THE FIRST-EVER REFUGEE OLYMPIC TEAM, RAISING AWARENESS OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE GLOBAL REFUGEE CRISIS. IOC PHOTOGRAPHER DAVID BURNETT JOINED THE 10 ATHLETES ON THEIR REMARKABLE JOURNEY IN RIO surpasses what one might expect. And so, this summer, with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) offering support for the Refugee Olympic Team, we saw 10 individuals, each from a backdrop of strife and diffi culty, who had been given the chance to train, live, and compete as Olympic athletes. That none of them won a medal was but a minor footnote to what was a committed he United Nations and spirited group. Watching the T High Commissioner for long-distance runners take to the Refugees (UNHCR) defi nes track, or the swimmers to the pool, a refugee as “someone who has one couldn’t help but be struck been forced to fl ee his or her by the adherence to the hard country because of persecution, work necessary for any athlete war, or violence”.

The Yet, I have found there is almost concept of Olympism embraces always a resilience among refugees the fusion of mind, will, and body, that belies their circumstances, and these refugee athletes excelled and often those in the toughest in every way, above all, in an age of situations reveal a fortitude that far adversity, with their own humanity. 01 44 OLYMPIC REVIEW JULY -AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2016 NUMBER 100 01 POPOLE MISENGA Popole Misenga celebrates after beating India’s Avtar Singh in the fi rst round of the men’s -90kg judo event. The 24-year-old is originally from the Bukavu area of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which was severely affected by the Second Congo War, and sought asylum in Brazil during the Judo World Championships in 2013. “I’m just really happy to be here because everybody understands and knows about the refugee team, knows the refugee story,” he said. “People around the world, they’re all watching this competition right now.” 01 02 REFUGEE OLYMPIC TEAM 01 CHRIST THE REDEEMER Members of the Refugee Olympic Team including Paulo Amotun (centre) and Yiech Biel (right) enjoy a visit to Rio’s famous statue of Christ the Redeemer. Amotun and Biel were both forced to fl ee their homes in southern Sudan due to the civil war that tore the country apart, before fi nding their way to the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, home to more than 179,000 displaced people. 02 YUSRA MARDINI Yusra Mardini surges to victory in her heat of the women’s 100m butterfl y, drawing huge cheers from the crowd at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium. Less than a year earlier, the 18-year-old had fl ed her home in Damascus to escape the Syrian confl ict. On her journey to Europe, she helped save the lives of 20 other migrants when the 03 04 boat they were travelling in began sinking in the Aegean Sea. Few of the others could swim, so Yusra and her sister jumped into the water and 05 swam for three hours, dragging the boat towards the shore. “I want to tell everyone that ‘refugee’ is not a bad word,” she said. “We’re still humans; we can do a lot of good things to show everyone that we are. My message is just, ‘Never give up’.” 03 YOLANDE BUKASA MABIKA Yolande Bukasa Mabika grapples with Israel’s Linda Bolder in the fi rst round of the women’s -70kg judo event. Mabika, who is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, has lived in Rio since claiming asylum in 2013. During the Second Congo War she was separated from her parents and taken to a children’s home in the capital Kinshasa, where she took up judo. “I’m representing many nations and my victory is a victory for all refugees in the world,” the 28-year-old said. “I lost, but I’m here. The fi ght did not end today. The fi ght is not only judo, t h e fi g h t i s l i f e . ” 04 ROSE LOKONYEN Rose Lokonyen competes in the heats of the women’s 800m. The 21-year-old used to run barefoot through the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, which has been her home for 13 years since she fl ed from southern Sudan. She only began running in shoes after she fi nished second in a 10km event that was held in the camp by the Tegla Loroupe Peace Foundation in 2015. 05 OLYMPIC VILL AGE Lokonyen (right) enjoys a game of dominoes with fellow team members as they relax in the Olympic Village. JULY -AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2016 NUMBER 100 OLYMPIC REVIEW 47 01 01 RAMI ANIS “It’s a wonderful feeling to compete in the Olympic Games. I don’t want to wake up from this dream,” said Syrian refugee Rami Anis after competing in two swimming events in Rio. Anis fl ed his home in 2011 after bombings in his hometown of Aleppo. 02 PAULO AMOTUN Paulo Amotun jostles for position during his heat of the men’s 1,500m. Amotun used to herd cattle for his family in southern Sudan until civil war forced them from their home. 03 THE TEAM “We do not speak the same language, we are from different countries but the Olympic fl ag unites all of us together and now we are representing 60 million [people] around the world,” said swimmer Yusra Mardini. “We want to do our best to show everyone that we can do everything we can for being good athletes and good people.” 02 03 48 OLYMPIC REVIEW JULY -AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2016 NUMBER 100 OLYMPIC SOLIDARITY MAKING GOLDEN MEMORIES OLYMPIC SOLIDARITY SCHOLARSHIP HOLDERS ENJOYED RECORD-BREAKING RESULTS AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES RIO 2016 WITH MORE THAN 100 ATHLETES WINNING MEDALS, INCLUDING 33 GOLDS, BEARING WITNESS TO THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAMME f all the 306 gold medals in 22 sports.

While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.

In January 2019, I launched a series of debates under the title: EU Gender Talks: Because We Make a Difference. Inequalities between women and men in Kosovo are still prevalent. So, the purpose was to have monthly discussions on different topics in relation to gender, with the aim of Ambassador raising awareness, contribute to the Nataliya Apostolova change of mentalities and improve Head of the EU Office in Kosovo / EU Special Representative gender equality policies in Kosovo. The 12 sessions have gathered more than 500 participants from Kosovo institutions, civil society organisations, EU Member States representatives and different audiences and topics made every session take other international stakeholders. They have included diverse shapes and sizes. Women were talking loud and interesting topics such as Women in Business, Gender we wanted the impact of their voices to be multiplied. and Youth, Gender in the Electoral Cycle, Women in This book ‘Talking Women’ is the result of it.

  • ABSTRACT This Article Explores the Role Sports Can Play in Addressing
    ABSTRACT This article explores the role sports can play in addressing some of the issues faced by refugees. At the outset, the meaning of the term ‘refugee’ is described, followed by the distinction between a ‘refugee’ and a ‘migrant’. The article then proceeds to discuss the need for integration of refugees into society and how sports can play a role in it. Some sports-based initiatives at the international level have been described followed by a brief discussion of the scenario in India. The article also highlights some hurdles in linking sports and refugees, and assesses whether these can be major deterrents to adopting this route in the long run. Finally, the article sums up the observations on this issue, and provides some recommendations for the future. Keywords: Sports, refugees, Olympic, UNHCR, integration SPORTS AND REFUGEES: A PERFECT ‘MATCH’? Sports and Refugees- A Perfect ‘Match’? “We do not speak the same language, we are from different countries, but the Olympic flag unites us all together; and now we are representing 60 million [people] around the world. We want to do our best to show everyone that we can do everything we can for being good athletes and good people.”1 ~Yusra Mardini (member of the 2016 Refugee Olympic team) Introduction The International Olympic Committee (“IOC”) fielded the first-ever refugee Olympic athletes’ team at the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. The team consisted of two Syrian swimmers, two judokas from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a marathon runner from Ethiopia, and five middle-distance runners from South Sudan.2 These athletes emerged as some of the stars of the competition, epitomizing resilience and fortitude in the face of unimaginable adversity.
