… and the support of the team. The
juniors show how they are growing
together to tackle new challenges.
and that we’re able to live up to our social responsibility
in this way at the site in Stuttgart.

The cooperation with Porsche is really important for
us. Companies like Porsche make a great contribution,
particularly towards integrating underprivileged chil-
dren and young people. It’s vital that we not only have
afew talented athletes in mind, but also regular play-
ers. With our one-week football camps, we reach alot
of children and young people from other clubs inour
region.

A positive snowball effect.

Absolutely! For instance, we’ve started a refugee team
with a home in our neighbourhood which we equip with
jerseys and boots. We organise games between the
Kickers junior teams and the refugees. In our “Turbo
for talented athletes” camps, we reserve spaces
forrefugee children. It’s important that these chil dren
come into contact with children here of the same age
and experience a normal environment.

The integrative power of sport is unquestionable.
Sport helps overcome cultural and social differ-
encesvery quickly. But relying on sport alone is not
enough. When a serious injury comes along, then
it’sall over with football and a potential professional
career.

You’ve touched on a really important point there. Alot
of young people would far rather just play football
allday long. Here, we have to give them a bitof a prod
and remind them to concentrate on theireducation.
