What moves us

Sports

Sport is a powerful tool for social change, as it is part of the identity and culture of our territories, as well as a tool of high educational value for peace and social justice, constituting a democratic space where everyone is equal.

Education

Education is a fundamental pillar of our initiatives, which is why our programs empower communities through the social appropriation of knowledge and training in methodologies, leaving installed capacity in the territories.

Territories

We learn from the different territories in which we work, seeking to co-create with their inhabitants, methodologies that respect the cosmovision of the people and their culture.

Women and men

We implement empowerment initiatives that promote gender equality, providing opportunities for both women and men to develop and actively contribute to their communities.

Children and youth

Happy children and young people are our main commitment. We promote safe spaces for them, fostering their social skills, as well as their participation and leadership in their communities.

Sports and community leaders

Leaders, trainers and teachers are our main allies in the territories, which is why the training of trainers processes are essential to leave the installed capacity in the communities and promote sustainable development.
