Our story

Founded with passion: KOMM MIT since 1983

KOMM MIT is an independent, private, non-profit organization that has been more than 40 years promotes solidarity among children and young people in Europe. The focus here is particularly on intercultural youth meetings.

With specially organized sporting events with an Olympic character, KOMM MIT brings over 25,000 children and adolescents from over 60 different nations together in several European countries.

About sports as well as cultural framework program children and young people learn important and sustainable values for social coexistence. Mutual respect, acceptance of differences and recognition of others' achievements are fundamental values for a peaceful and solidary coexistence.

It all began 1983 in Bonn, as our founder Karlheinz Reinartz started with a clear vision: to create a safe space for children and young people from different cultures in which they can experience team spirit, friendship and solidarity. For him, soccer was more than just a game — it was an opportunity to overcome borders and build bridges between people.

In the past four decades This vision has continued to evolve. A small initiative has become a strong non-profit organization, which today, with over 20 employees, brings together more than 25,000 young people from over 60 nations every year. Our events have long since Olympic character and are a unique forum for intercultural exchange.

The Club soccer is at the heart of this our work: Volunteers create a “green field” on site where children and young people not only grow in sports, but also learn important social values such as respect, acceptance and solidarity.

We are particularly proud to be working with various funding projects To strengthen girls' soccer and to give young people from financially weaker families access to our offers.

KOMM MIT is based on 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on health, gender equality, reduced inequalities and peace. Our work stands for a future based on solidarity — a strong foundation that we continue to build together with our partners, volunteers and the younger generation.
