Area of Action

Social Inclusion

 
Inspired by the socio-educational model of the Escolinha de Rugby da Galiza, with proven results, this project arose from the substantiation of sports as a form of social inclusion for children and teens. Thus it aims to combine the game of rugby with an innovative school support strategy, a volunteering program, sponsorship by local businesses and active parental involvement to build a successful and inclusive project adapted to the Alta de Lisbon community.
