The objective of the project is to give children and adolescents the opportunity to promote educational sports activities. Volleyball classes will take place in the after-school shift, in mixed teams (male and female), aged between 6 and 16 years.

 

 The project cities will be executed in one unit per municipality. There will be vacancies totaling approximately 800 young people involved with the project. To participate, you must be enrolled in the Public Education network.

 

“More than simply promoting a sports workshop to assist in the education process, we seek through this initiative to reduce the situation of exclusion and social risk of children and adolescents. Sport favors the construction of personal and social knowledge and also helps in the formation of values for these children and young people”, highlights Royal. “With the project, we also seek greater control over school attendance and lower student repetition rates”, he adds.
