Street soccer tournament for tolerance in Kastel
On Friday, September 19, the seventh Street Soccer Tournament for Tolerance will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. at the district sports facility of TSG 1846 in Jakob-Schick-Straße 2 in Kastel. The tournament is organized in cooperation with Fair Play Hessen of the Hessian Football Association and Sportjugend Hessen.
The event is organized by the 2nd police station, TSG 1846 Kastel and the Reduit children's, youth and district center of the Office for Social Work. Dr. Patricia Becher, Head of Social Affairs, and Alexander Jaza, Head of the Wiesbaden Police Department, will open the tournament at 2 pm.
The Street Soccer Tournament is a strong signal of tolerance in action. Children and young people come together here regardless of their origin, language or social background. They experience that fair play, respect and togetherness are crucial - on the pitch as well as in everyday life. These values are indispensable for an urban society based on solidarity.
For many years, the street soccer tournament has been a successful example of prevention work, encounters and integration. The police, clubs and youth welfare organizations pull together here. The sporting competition in particular creates contacts and friendships that build trust in the long term.
The tournament brings together teams from elementary school, the Wilhelm Leuschner School, the supervising elementary school, school social work, the Reduit children's, youth and district center, the Kastel Housing shared accommodation, the TSG soccer department and self-organized youth groups. The sports program will be accompanied by games and craft activities for children and parents.
TSG 1846 and the Reduit children's, youth and district center, supported by "gesundekids" and Kultur in der Reduit, will provide refreshments.
