More about Consortium
Sports are being used as a methodological development tool for social transformation. We form methodologically young leaders, of urban and rural areas in Guatemala, to the assertiveness of sport management, strengthening them to be capable of addressing specific issues such as self-esteem, youth leadership, ecology, sexuality, among others. Through sports, children and youngsters develop social skills, cognitive, motor and psychological skills with those who practice any sports-entertainment.
In Guatemala, a legacy of armed conflict created the social isolation, and fear of working together, as well fear and distrust to coordinate joint work. We as Consortium "Sports is much more" are a concrete response to the practice of working in isolation, we are working together with 4 Guatemalan organizations, some with more than 30 years of experience (Caja Ludica, AGUJA, ACJ-YMCA y TRASCIENDE) and two international organizations who also believe in the sport as a tool of transformation, these are ARCA in Brazil and Foundation Todos in the Netherlands.
