The objective is to reach out to as many schools and sport clubs around the world as possible.

Our education programs and our outreach initiatives have won 70 awards for best practise.

Funded by supporters

Our partners during the years have come from all walks of life. From the business community, governments, education authorities, sports organisations and from private donations. We strongly believe in partnerships across all borders. Therefore we also partner with other NGO’s, where we see strong synergies. There is no reason to reinvent wheels.
