In order to address the humanitarian and social issues caused by the unprecedented migration of Venezuelan refugees to Colombia, Project Béisbol has designed a unique program for local integration, looking to harness both Venezuelans’ passion for the sport and Colombians’ desire to learn it. The goal of the Baseball Integration Program is to use baseball and softball as tools for a healthy and peaceful integration of Venezuelan refugees into Colombian communities.
