Building bridges with migrant youths

A Melbourne migrant community group is using sport to build bridges between young people who are newly arrived in Australia and those who were born here.

One migrant community group in Melbourne thinks it's found a way to build bridges between young people who are newly arrived in Australia and those who were born here -- and they're using sport.

 

The Spectrum Migrant Resource Centre has begun holding regular soccer tournaments as part of its school holiday program.

 

Ajit Singh is a youth worker at the centre.

 

He's told Ildi Amon the tournaments have been a huge success, with about 200 people from a range of backgrounds taking part.
