Connecting childen

The meaning of Open Fun Football Schools is to facilitate friendship and sports co-operation between people living in divided communities.

We use Open Fun Football Schools and other community-based children's sport initiatives to rally children and adults of different social and ethnic groups around an activity of common interest. In this way ball playing becomes one tool amongst others through which to stimulate the important process of peaceful co-existence, tolerance, gender equality and inter-ethnic community building and by that facilitate a normalisation of everyday life for the children and the local community at large.

For objectives, strategies and results click on the various balls.

With the child in the centre, it is our vision to bring all stakeholders into play. When we organize activities for children, we wish all the stakeholders to have a place and exercise a function: When we activate the children the stakeholders circle like planets around the sun in a Children's Grassroots Football Universe.
