Hintergrund
With the main goal of contributing to existing peace building initiatives inColombia, the Football Club Social Alliance ran its Young Coach Education Programme in Colombia from July 2015 to April 2016.
According to a study by Colombia’s National Centre for Historical Memory, approximately 220,000 people have died in the conflict between 1958 and 2013 and more than five million civilians were forced from their homes generating the world’s second largest population of internally displaced persons. The Colombian Departement Antioquia has been one of the most affected areas of the conflict for which it has been chosen as location for the Football Club Social Alliance’s Young Coach Education Programme.
Our Young Coaches are community leaders and role models in less privileged societies. They commit themselves to support the children of their communities by conveying important social topics (conflict resolution, inclusion, HIV prevention, etc.) through football. Each of the Young Coaches represents a unique personal story.
