SPORTS

Sports are an important tool for social inclusion and assistance in the process of educational and social development as well for promoting good health.

 

The practice of sports is fundamental for the health and well-being of every human being. Through sport, children and young people living in socially vulnerable environments find an incentive to overcome their difficulties in various areas, as well as the opportunity to develop personally. Sport is therefore a powerful instrument for transmitting core values such as self-confidence, social inclusion, respect and love for your neighbour, teamwork and a sense of community.

 

Our current project is focused on the practice of jiu-jitsu:

 

Much more than mere punches and martial positions, jiu-jitsu seeks to strengthen friendships, build character and make it possible for a child to reach adolescence under the influence of its ethical principles. Such principles are particularly important for the childhood development of both boys and girls.

 

The Dojo project therefore seeks, aside from teaching jiu-jitsu itself, to simulate critical thinking through conversation circles after the sports classes, with themes that are part of the daily lives of children and young people.
