This book addresses the social benefits of physical activity and sport in promoting the social and educational inclusion of refugees living in Europe in line with Sustainable Development Goals 4, 10 and 16. It provides a theoretical framework supported by evidence obtained from a case study in the Spanish context.

The book demonstrates how universities and formal and non-formal educational institutions, by means of service-learning activities managed by physical and social educators, enable refugees and students to practice physical activity, develop further learning and establish stable social networks. It shows how a pedagogical approach to physical activity can improve relationships between students and refugees and promote inclusion of all. It discusses the value of diversity in education and educational research, as well as transdisciplinarity in new educational and research approaches.
