Free Movement

On and off the board, Free Movement Skateboarding pushes for a welcoming and diverse skate scene and society from its mobile skatepark and youth centre in Athens, Greece since 2017. FMS delivers skateboard sessions, youth development programming and community events to promote the core values of wellbeing, empowerment and social cohesion in an inclusive and safe environment.

Free Movement empowers all youth, with a focus on migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, Roma, girls and those with disabilities, reinforcing that if they can achieve on the board, they can achieve elsewhere. As programs target disadvantaged communities and partner projects working with these groups, Free Movement promotes social cohesion, bringing together youth that wouldn’t otherwise meet, building community beyond our sessions.
