Summary: 

The YoP MiLéDou project in Côte d’Ivoire aims to foster inclusion of migrants by tapping into a shared love of sports. The project, based in schools and neighborhood clubs in Yopougon (a municipality in Abdijan), brings together youth of different nationalities and origins in a junior basketball league. In addition to supporting overall well-being, the project is designed to offer a space where participants can find commonalities and engage in dialogue.
