Coaches from America participate in the Football and Values Training Days of the Foundation
They were held at the Ciudad Real Madrid under the title 'For a REAL Education: Values and Sport'.
The Real Madrid Foundation held the Training Days in Values For a REAL Education: Values and Sport at the Ciudad Real Madrid, aimed this time at coach-educators from various social sports projects that the organization develops in the American continent.
Over four days, participants shared experiences, received specialized training, and learned firsthand how the Foundation's social sports methodology is applied in Spain, based on integral education through sport.
Social sports schools
This edition was attended by coaches from the social sports schools that the Foundation promotes together with its local partners in Bolivia (Fundación Alalay), Colombia (Religiosos Camilos and Fundación Concívica) - these three projects with the support of CAF -, El Salvador (Fundamadrid), Guatemala (Fundación Carlos F. Novella), Honduras (Fundación Diunsa), and Mexico (Fundación Grupo Bafar). All of them carry out their work with children in vulnerable situations, for whom sport represents a tool for inclusion, personal development, and education in values.
At the end of the training days, the Real Madrid Foundation awarded certificates to the participating coaches, recognizing their commitment to the integral education of their students and their key role as educational role models in their communities.
Five days of practical and methodological training
The program combined theoretical sessions at the Ciudad Real Madrid with practical sessions in different social sports schools of the Foundation. Coaches received training in coaching principles and the educational competition model Compete to Share, a methodological axis that promotes participation, respect, and learning over results. The training days included sessions at the social sports schools of Luis Aragonés, Alcobendas, and Valdebernardo, as well as a visit to the adapted school of A LA PAR, where they learned about the application of adapted sports as a tool for inclusion and personal development.
Additionally, the coaches participated in educational workshops where they shared best practices and analyzed the specific challenges of their projects in America, thereby enriching the adaptation of the methodology For a REAL Education: Values and Sport to their respective local contexts. The sessions also addressed educational leadership, transmitting values through play, emotional management, and equal opportunities, fundamental aspects for the integral education of children in vulnerable situations.
Commitment to education through sport
The awarding of certificates marked the conclusion of a week of learning and professional growth that will strengthen the coaches' work in their countries and benefit thousands of children across the American continent.
Moreover, during the weekend, participants will attend the VI International Congress For a REAL Education: Values and Sport, where they will continue expanding their training alongside professionals and experts in the educational and sports fields, reaffirming the Real Madrid Foundation's commitment to education through sport worldwide.
