Cross Cultures Project Association (CCPA or Cross Cultures) is in particular known for our Open Fun Football Schools programme which is a humanitarian initiative using joyful games and the pedagogical "Fun Football concept" as tools to stimulate peaceful co-existence, gender equality, tolerance and social cohesion in countries and communities affected by war and ethnic conflicts.
The strength of Cross Cultures and our programmes is to be found in it's ability to generate relations between people and stakeholders.
Since 1998, more than 1,000 Open Fun Football  Schools have been completed for a sheer number of 220,000 boys and girls in 14 countries in the regions of Balkans, Trans Caucasus, Moldova and the Middle East. All activities are created in conflict-affected areas with the purpose to use the children's football as vehicle to facilitate friendship and sports cooperation between people living in divided communities and to bring football to children regardless of gender, talent, skills, ethnic, social, religious or political background. To run these activities Cross Cultures has educated more
than 20,000 voluntary coaches recruited in the local communities involved.
 Alone in 2009 the Open Fun Football School programme communicates directly with more than 100,000 children, volunteers, parents, municipal authorities, national institutions and other stakeholders. Read more about our civil society stakeholder approach...
Further Cross Cultures organises Street Sport activities for thousands of children in the Balkans, Trans Caucasus and the Middle East.
In 2009 Cross Cultures launched the global Children's Education Campaign on Environment and Climate named Things Talk - Children, Climate Change & Waste Art in partnership with the Danish municipalities of Ballerup and Rødovre, Heerup Museum and Vestforbrænding, the biggest waste management company in Denmark.
 Things Talk aims to provide the children of the world an opportunity to be heard in the global debate on climate change. Things Talk runs a global platform - http://www.thingstalk.net/ - where children can speak about their ideas, concerns and future dreams in relation to how the climate changes both locally and globally will affect the world they live. |
