In the organizer's words:
June 20 is World Refugee Day - and this year is also the European Football Championship. Together with our cooperation partner UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, we combine both topics and ask: What does sport mean for refugees? Our guests are a Bundesliga coach, the former head of the Afghan national soccer team, Olympic athletes and others. And we will be showing two top matches live in the Documentation Center: England versus Denmark and Italy versus Spain. Look forward to exciting guests and exciting matches over beer and pretzels.
