Young talents from the region represent the RUHR GAMES and their sports disciplines or art forms in public and share their personal stories. With their passion, they inspire many young people and highlight the enormous potential of the Ruhr region. With TalentTeamRuhr, the Regionalverband Ruhr has been promoting young sporting and artistic talent since 2018, giving them a stage for their dreams and goals and supporting them with thematic inspiration.
