Sports promotion
The Federal Government supports the international promotion of sports with the aim of building social skills.
Development through sport. Since the early 1960s, German sports organizations have been promoting the development of sport in developing countries with support from the Federal Government, especially the Federal Foreign Office. During this time, more than 1,400 short- and long-term projects have been completed in many different sports in over 100 countries. Apart from specifically training sporting skills, one of the main aims is to encourage teamwork, mutual respect, tolerance and fairness – skills that are essential for peaceful coexistence.
