How can sport genuinely contribute to a ‘durable solution’ for forced migrants? Hear the ORF Think Tank’s #ThinkSportThinkRefuge podcast guest Lam Joar discuss his path from Kakuma refugee camp to studying Refugee Studies at Oxford via the running track. It’s well worth a listen!

[On @on_running]

Competing here was always the dream. Step one, complete.

#DominicLobalu, the elite runner and refugee who found a home in Switzerland, continues to make history in Paris. Next stop: the 5000m final on August 10.

Get to know more about Dominic and watch the new #DreamTogether short film ‘To Chase a Dream’: https://t.co/dGfE9CNMSk

Well done, #BrightStars, @SSBFed! The land is proud of your excellent Olympics debut. The best in the world will not be ready for you in the #Olympics2028, @KingJames and @KDTrey5 would long be retired!

[South Sudan Basketball @SSBFed]

Left it all on the court tonight! #BrightStars ✨🇸🇸

[Lam Joar @LamJoar]

So both #Sudan and ##SouthSudan national Anthems were played for the South Sudan Basketball team match. Well, that was awkward.

[Lam Joar @LamJoar]

It is a beautiful feeling supporting my country at the #paris2024olympics games! Come on, #SouthSudan!

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

Only UNRWA can deliver aid at the scale desperately needed in Gaza.

That's why the UK is lifting the pause on UNRWA funding with immediate effect.

Today I met @UNLazzarini to discuss this lifesaving decision and offer condolences for the 197 UNRWA staff who have been killed.

[Lam Joar @LamJoar]

On 31st July, I will be chatting with @AlastairAger at the newly launched #OlympicRefugeFoundation #podcast, focusing on the powerful intersection of sport, displacement, and inclusion. Join us for an insightful conversation. https://t.co/aGuPGfFMn8

[Separated Child 🧡 @separated_child]

Can't believe it's a month since our super sleep pack session with a lovely team of people at @VodafoneUK (and we loved your #wimbledon table)!

Huge thanks @Ellily2 for bringing together this fab group of volunteers to create 200 sleep packs for separated children. 🧡

[Simon Rosenbaum @simon_rosenbaum]

Incredible program run by @tdh_org in Kurigram, Bangladesh supporting communities affected by climate-related displacement through sport.

We met fathers who have become champions of women's sport & mothers who themselves are inspired to participate.

Out today. Thank you to everyone who has helped get Ambassador Ed Barnes on the road again.

[Lam Joar @LamJoar]

Grateful to be part of this iconic lecture, thank you for the invite, @TFletcher. I appreciate the short story Chris quickly narrated to me of him visiting Sudanese Refugees at the Ethiopia - Sudan border years ago in between books signing. Best wishes to him!

[Tom Fletcher @TFletcher]

Terrific celebration of the wisdom and humanity of Chris Patten this evening. Thanks to the six (!) former Prime Ministers and many others (most importantly family) who sent moving video tributes. Recordings etc all available soon.
