World Refugee Day: Warner Bros. Discovery launches Refugees’ Voice series as part of Home Crowd campaign

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports Europe is set to launch new initiatives on World Refugee Day (20 June) to champion the stories of refugee athletes and to demonstrate the power of sport in helping displaced people to reshape their futures.

'Refugees’ Voice' is Eurosport’s new series which shares stories from Refugee Athlete Scholarship-holders* hoping to be selected for the Refugee Olympic Team (EOR) at Olympic Games Paris 2024. A monthly first-person profile will be published on Eurosport.com in multiple languages, interviews will form new episodes of Eurosport’s purpose-driven magazine show, 'The Power of Sport', and content will be shared across its social media platforms to maximise the reach of athletes’ messages.

Ad Scott Young, SVP Content and Production at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, said: “Our mission is to unlock the power of sport by connecting our audiences with stories and athletes that inspire, inform and entertain.

There is perhaps no greater story in sport that embodies this than the journey of a refugee competing at the Olympic Games. We will harness our international scale to maximise the reach of these important stories from some truly incredible humans, from World Refugee Day to Paris 2024 and beyond."
