The African Hope Learning Centre is a School for refugees, set up in Cairo. It has about 500 students who have escaped civil war and related problems in a variety of African countries. They have just run their first chess tournament.
If you prefer to watch, rather than read, there’s an excellent 10 minute video on YouTube. It’s great to hear those young people describing the life benefits they get from playing chess.
 If you prefer the written word, here is a report by Lim Nan, the teacher, trainer (NI) and organizer who ran the tournament.
How it all started
Chess in AHLC started in the last quarter of 2011 when introductory classes were held for the middle & high school classes.
From these classes, those who wanted to give chess a try then came for the weekly chess club held every Wednesday (10 :30am-12 :30pm) in the computer room. This became a steady core group that eagerly anticipated the day of their very own first chess competition. [click on 'read more' for more inspirational text]

There is so much going on in the world of chess in schools and so much that we could learn from each other, but how do we know what is happening? Keep us in touch with what is happening in your part of the world, especially if it might benefit others somewhere else in the world.
I have just stumbled across some interesting moves in England and France (see our Reports section) and no doubt there are many more. Let's bring them to a wider audience! |

 Premium Student Members (PSMs) get a lot for their €10 a year when they sign up (or upgrade from free Student Membership - SMs) at sm.fide.com. One part of the Premium Pack is the PSM newsletter, our magazine which contains a mixture of news, fun and instruction.
The PSM newsletter is sent by email to all PSMs fortnightly on alternate Fridays, 26 times a year. In addition, there will be at least 6 'specials' to coincide with important events in the chess world, such as the World Championships, the Olympiad and those of special interest to our members (for example the World Schools Individual Championship).
What does a PSM newsletter look like? To give you a glimpse, here is PSM004 in a form that noone has seen before! That is because the newsletter is sent out in 9 languages. Here, we have created a 'composite' with each page in a different language (English, French, Spanish, Arabic, German, Russian, Turkish, Slovenian - in case you don't recognize them all!).
Partner federations are encouraged to use our material as a base (we don't always make an 8-page issue, sometimes we produce a 4-page core) and add to it in order to create a magazine with a very local flavour. Here you can see what our Slovak partners did with PSM006.
Read on to see those two issues:
