A skateboard NGO is bringing refugee communities together in Jordan – Middle East Monitor
An NGO in Jordan is using skateboarding to bring refugee communities together. Skateboarding, explains Belgian-born Kas Wauters, the programme manager of the 7Hills Skate Park in Amman, helps to break down cultural and ethnic barriers.
"Once you share a common interest or a common passion," he tells me, "all the barriers, or all the differences, fade away. Skateboarding is quite intense, and requires a mental battle and physical balance in every individual, so it's really easy to forget everything around you."
