U.S.C. United Sports Cyprus
United Sports Cyprus (USC) is a locally led non-profit organization that aims to unite and educate communities through sports, with a mission to dismantle physical barriers associated with xenophobia and inequality while integrating minority groups into society. USC strives to provide equal sporting opportunities for individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities, empowering both youth and adults to advocate for an inclusive society.
What sets USC apart is its innovative approach to sport for development. The organization seamlessly weaves sports and team-building activities into a cutting-edge curriculum of on-court engagements. Through this carefully crafted strategy, USC aims to dismantle ingrained social and cultural stereotypes. The process of structured integration becomes a linchpin in their methodology, fostering the organic development of mutual trust, lasting friendships, and the emergence of a new shared identity among participants. In essence, USC is not merely an advocate for sports; it is a champion for societal transformation, leveraging the universality of sports to bridge divides and promote a more cohesive, inclusive society.
