Sports fan solutions
How German “fan projects” are stopping young supporters being seduced by far-right groups.
Football in Germany had a big problem with violent, racist, far-right supporters. But a social innovation, organised and run by fans, has been credited with helping to change the dynamic in the stands.
“Fan projects” attract young fans with the promise of youth clubs and cheap transport to games. We go to a game with a fan project in Dresden to see how it works.
And from the US, we hear how one woman is on a mission to make ice hockey more accessible to black women.
