Brief:
Klabu, an organization creating sports clubs in refugee camps worldwide, partnered with Paris Saint-Germain Football Club to launch a club in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, home to over 1 million stateless Rohingya refugees.
To mark this collaboration, 1000 Cox's Bazar jerseys were produced, and our task was to sell them.
Solution:
Joining the creative team later, I noticed the lack of a unifying idea. Drawing inspiration from the playful nature of Rohingya children, I developed the concept "The Spirit of Cox's Bazar" which I translated into a manifesto with accompanying headlines.

MANIFESTO
1/1000 STORIES
Looking at the number 1 million Rohingya in the camp we thought who are these people exactly? So we gave the numbers a name by collecting short stories about 1,000 children of the camp giving the jerseys an unique persona.
SPIRIT BOOTH
We created a photo booth which placed a virtual jersey over a portrait to appear as you're wearing the jersey and created a solidarity wall.
THE FRIENDSHIP CUP
We even created the world's first e-unity match between leading PSG esport players and the Rohingya Football Team in Bangladesh to face off while wearing the jersey.
