More about "Football meets Culture"
In Germany the educational opportunity for every child depends to a high degree on the social background of the family. Almost 4 million children under 18 live in a social, financial or cultural situation of risk which reduces their chances of a good education. FMC offers supportive classes, football training and cultural activities.
Football is the most popular team sport and therefore an ideal motivation factor for children. Besides that we cooperate with well-known local Football clubs, whose youth trainer lead the football training in the project. So we are using the appeal of football and the proximity to famous local clubs and, this is an inevitable association, to their local heroes.
