The University of Messina has organized several events sharing its sports facilities with the local community. The ecological ice rink was inaugurated during the event “Christmas at CUS Unime”. The ice rink has been the centerpiece of a real sports village, equipped with a multipurpose playground and a food area. Moreover, the University of Messina has used sports as a social integration medium for the whole society. With this in mind, the University organized a sport event named “Games Without Frontiers”. Ten teams attended the games. Each team was made up of members from all parts of the local society: university students, technical administrative staff, young migrants, and representatives of non-profit organizations. Additionally, every year the University sports facilities offer a summer activity for young people: “Summer Sport by Cus UniME”. This sports activity is dedicated to children and teenagers from ages 4 to 18  and is held from Monday to Friday during the summer months.
