NEWS.
The Real Madrid Foundation's coach educators at the social sporting schools at the Rmeileh refugee camp Lebanon have recently completed their first online training sessions dedicated to football and values, which was run by the Foundation's Training Department. These coaches take part in weekly training sessions for more than 350 children from Syria and Iraq who are living in the Rmeileh refugee camp, where Real Madrid Foundation's partner in the area, the Fratelli Association, is operating.
 
The coaches have learned to adapt the tasks and games from the methodology For a Real Education: Values and Sport, taking into account the constraints of a refugee camp as well as the needs of this vulnerable group of children, who see football as an escape for them. The two online training sessions also addressed the implementation of tactical and technical content using games, putting into context and developing the physical-motor and regulatory aspects of the game.
 
Participants
The Real Madrid and Fratelli Foundation's social sporting project in the Rmeileh refugee camp currently has 300 children taking part in football and 80 in basketball, of which 155 of them are girls. Access to sport and educational, health and nutrition initiatives provide an important emotional and psychological release for the refugee community.
