Henrik Oesau, International project manager at SV Werder Bremen, is the next confirmed speaker at our 17th EFDN #Morethanfootball Conference in Liverpool on 9 & 11 May 2022.
Henrik Oesau is a CSR manager at Werder Bremen which celebrates its 20th anniversary for social responsibility programs this year. He accompanied the strategy process of CSR at Werder Bremen with the kick-off of the SPIELRAUM program in 2020.
Henrik joined Werder Bremen 2015 to coordinate sports offers for refugees. He is now responsible for fundraising, impact management and international CSR projects. Before he joined Werder Bremen he worked for different NGO’s and also initiated several volunteering projects focusing sports for development.
”In Bremen we face the highest poverty rate of children and young people in Germany. More than two-thirds of physical education classes in Bremen are taught by non-specialist teachers.
With the SPIELRAUM concept we would like to make as many children and young people as possible enthusiastic about sport and exercise and give them the opportunity to develop through sports. We aim 365 days of access to sports – during daycare hours, free time and holidays – on a social pedagogical basis in the social environment of children.”
