The Hope Project

THE HOPE
PROJECT

Em Estocolmo, um grupo de skatistas decidiu transformar a sua paixão num instrumento de esperança e integração. Nascido em 2015 em resposta ao fluxo de imigração do Oriente Médio, a Skate Nation é uma pista de skate que recebe jovens estrangeiros, refugiados e requerentes de asilo, ajudando-os a se integrarem na sociedade sueca.

Afeganistão, Síria, Palestina, Eritreia… Desde a sua existência, Skate Nation já acolheu mais de 1500 jovens pertencentes a vinte nacionalidades diferentes. Eles se encontram uma vez por semana para andar de skate. Entre as rampas do parque treinam para fazer manobras na tábua, mas acima de tudo fazem amigos e aprendem sueco e os costumes locais.

“Se lhe for dado um lugar para sentir-se em casa, encontrará uma maneira de crescer como pessoa”, diz Viktor Telégin, cofundador e voluntário da Skate Nation. Ele tem razão. Os miúdos mais velhos são agora os coaches dos mais jovens e uma nova sede da Skate Nation foi inaugurada em Gotemburgo.

As imagens de Skate Nation são de James Mollison, fotógrafo britânico que aborda questões sociais e culturais com um corte original. Ele é autor de cinco livros fotográficos. As suas fotos apareceram em revistas e publicações em todo o mundo.
