More about LIGA FEM : LA CANCHA PARA NOSOTRAS
We are using football as a tool to convey values and social inclusion, particularly for girls and woman. In this space of meeting and getting to know to different people and values, of confrontation and problem solving, and of a collective and playful learning, the participants are educated with social abilities through the practice of the sport.
All the activities are based on their own capacities in order to allow participants to learn from their own experiences and personal cognitive structures. For this reason we are using football, specifically the "football 3" methodology, for local and personal development.
Through a combination of football and educational strategies we offer a space for social integration and freedom in order to improve individuals’ access to education and health and the opportunity to develop leadership skills.
Moreover, choosing to work through football with girls and adolescents is an affirmative call for women inclusion as Costa Rica is a very patriarchal country in which football is considered as an exclusive sport for men.
