As part of the Hessian programme "Sport integrates Hesse", the city of Rodgau is successfully using sport as a tool for integration. Sports coaches Dana Tobaji and Arash Kalhori regularly offer a variety of sports programmes to get refugees and people with a migration background interested in sport and thus promote their participation in social life. The recent swimming courses at the Seligenstadt outdoor pool and the cycling courses at the Jügesheim indoor cycling centre were a complete success. Under the guidance of experienced trainers, over 30 participants were able to improve their swimming skills or learn how to ride a bike. First City Councillor Janika Martin was delighted with the great commitment of the sports coaches: "Sport is an important building block for successful integration. I am delighted with the great response and would like to thank everyone involved for their commitment."
