Skateistan - Skateboard and Learn in Kabul

Skateistan é uma escola de skate no Afeganistão, que tem como intuito ensinar, não só a skatar, mas também inglês e a desenvolver a inter-relação entre culturas. Tudo com o objectivo de criar uma juventude forte e critica em relação aos problemas sociais e barreiras étnicas.

Skateistan is Afghanistan’s first dedicated co-educational skateboarding school. The school will engage with the growing numbers of urbanised youth in Afghanistan through skateboarding and provide new opportunities in cross-cultural interaction and education. Students will be selected from a range of different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Student capacity will be developed in skateboarding, skateboarding instruction, project management, life skills and English. Our aim is to develop a program that empowers youth to take leadership on issues important to them and build networks that will counter current ethnic barriers.
