Favela Street Kòrsou is about more than football. Using street football as a starting point, young people get the opportunity to discover their talents, build self-confidence and develop into role models in their own neighbourhood.
More than just football
Since 2019, Favela Street Kòrsou has brought together young people from different neighbourhoods. In a safe environment, they learn to work together, set goals and take responsibility. They receive guidance from coaches and mentors and learn to organise sports activities themselves.
From participant to role model
The programme concludes with a gathering where young people share their personal stories and the Time To Shine street football tournament. Several participants then go on to become junior coaches. In this way, they pass on their knowledge and experience to other young people and create a positive impact in their neighbourhood.
Working together for impact
The programme was launched in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development, Labour and Welfare. Stichting Kinderpostzegels, Fonds 21 and Corendon are involved partners.
