The Most Important in Brief

The Taekwondo Humanitarian Foundation (THF) aims to empower refugees by training them in taekwondo. It has created an educational program specifically designed for refugees and thereby tackles sport for development objectives. THF coaches are trained in how taekwondo can serve as a tool for social inclusion, social cohesion and mental health. The practice of taekwondo can improve significantly the self-esteem and the decision-making abilities of refugees. Such acquired skills are life skills which are transferable to many other areas, e.g. in the professional domain.
