The multicultural sports
tournament was designed to give
first- and second- generation
immigrants living in Dieppe or
Moncton, New Brunswick the
opportunity to connect with
their local community through
the power of sport. #RisingYouth
grantee Abdelatif Guerroudj
organized a soccer tournament
and even included activities
during breaks that celebrated
participants' country of origin.
These activities gave the
children an opportunity to
share their culture while also
learning about others. Even the
parents in attendance made
connections with one another!
" As an immigrant youth and youth delegate of the Imagine NB Provincial Youth Leadership
Program, I can attest to the need to organize and promote community initiatives that not
only help to bring together people from different cultures, but to encourage and facilitate
social connections within the community to increase awareness of the vibrant and diverse
cultures we have been privileged to host in the Dieppe, Moncton, and Riverview areas."
