SAVE THE CHILDREN COLOMBIA
Sport as a mechanism for changing lives
PROJECT
To use sporting activities to improve the psychosocial wellbeing of refugee and displaced children in Colombia
‘Sentimos deporte’ (We Feel Sport) is a project being carried out by the FC Barcelona Foundation in three locations (Arauca, Buenaventura and Tumaco) in three different administrative departments in Colombia, hand in hand with Save the Children and backed by Scotiabank. The program covers children who are refugees or have been displaced due to violence.
The goal is to provide girls, boys and young people with equitable access to sporting activities, which help strengthen their resilience and boost their psychosocial wellbeing.
