ABSTRACT In the context of the global migrant and refugee crisis there is considerable enthusiasm for the notion that participation by migrants of refugee background in community sport can play a role in fostering a sense of community belonging. Sport potentially is an opportunity for refugees to integrate (with each other and host communities). Community sports organisations in the UK - and specifically sports clubs - continually face challenges to devote resources to social policy outcomes beyond increasing sport participation. This article argues that the active approach of coaches, volunteers and managers to consciously manage inclusive sport activities is central for the integration of refugees. Utilising a mixed methods approach, this study analysed the impact of one sports club that used table tennis to promote the active integration of refugees. The study found three significant areas of impact: first, an active approach from coaches can facilitate integration; second, such an approach should be conducted in a safe, enjoyable and welcoming environment; and that sport is a positive social activity for youths with a refugee background if the focus of the activity centres on fun and social interaction, rather than just sporting skills.

“积极融合”：体育俱乐部在难民融合中发挥积极作用

摘要在全球移民和难民危机的背景下，人们对具有难民背景的移民参与社区体育可以在树立社区归属感方面发挥作用充满热情。体育可能为难民提供机会（彼此融合并与接纳社区融合）。英国的社区体育组织-特别是体育俱乐部-不断面临挑战，无法在增加体育参与度的同时，将资源用于社会政策成果。本文认为，教练，志愿者和管理人员采取积极方法有意识地管理包容性体育活动对于难民融入社会至关重要。利用混合方法的方法，这项研究分析了一个使用乒乓球促进难民积极融入社会的体育俱乐部的影响。该研究发现了三个重要的影响领域：第一，教练的积极态度可以促进融合。第二，这种方法应在安全，愉快和友好的环境中进行；如果这项运动的重点是娱乐和社交互动，而不仅仅是运动技能，那么对于有难民背景的年轻人来说，这项运动是一项积极的社会活动。
