More about Esquina de Campeones "Champions Corner"
The "Esquina de Campeones" methodology uses sports as an ally in the search for social transformation and the construction of peace processes in the territories, the prevention and mitigation of violence. Within this methodology, sport works as a powerful connecting medium, because young people have the conception that within Boxing and Martial Arts they will reinforce attitudes and physical skills that will allow them to rise in positions in criminal groups. But when they get to the project and train physically, psychologically and socially they understand what respect for others means, they understand that there is a different world that has doors open to them, which is full of opportunities to change their history and their lives and become positive referents, leaders in their communities.
