 Youth RESOLVE 2 is the continuation of a project funded by the European Union, through the European Union’s Regional Trust Fund, the “EU MADAD” fund, and carried out by World Vision, UTOPIA, DPNA and GAME.

GAME Background 

GAME is working for social change through youth-led street sports and culture in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. 

GAME establishes innovative facilities, offers youth-leader’s trainings as coaches and role models in street sports and civil society and gives them the opportunity to use entrepreneurship to make positive changes for themselves and for peers and children. 

GAME is a top 150 NGO with nearly 20 years of experience in lowering the threshold to the positive social communities of street sports and culture. Together with likeminded partners GAME is empowering children and youth from vulnerable areas and refugee settings. 

Project Background

GAME establishes innovative facilities called GAME Houses and GAME Zones.

The goal is for street sports and street culture to be accessible to everyone. Here people can meet and engage in various activities and therefore strengthen the communities around street sports and the culture.  

Involving the local communities is an important part of the process of building GAME Houses. Before and after the opening of the facilities, the users are invited to take part in several participatory workshops. 

The GAME Houses and Zones have a strong focus on sustainability in terms of the reuse of old buildings and materials for new functions. The urban street culture architecture complements the industrial history of the buildings with their raw and distinctive character and keeps the construction costs down compared to traditional indoor sports facilities. 

GAME established 4 GAME Houses in Denmark, Copenhagen, Esbjerg, Aalborg, and Viborg.  

GAME is now in the process of establishing the first GAME House outside of Denmark, in Karantina Beirut, near the area of the Beirut blast.  

Objective

GAME Lebanon is looking for a service provider to design and build an outdoor skatepark in Beirut as part of the GAME House Facility through a participatory approach as part of the Youth RESOLVE 2 project.

The skatepark will be an open facility, operated by GAME all year around.
