Foundation training in sports and values in Cabo Verde alongside Salesian Missions

The Real Madrid Foundation traveled to the Escola Salesiana do Mindelo, in Cabo Verde, to conduct three days of training aimed at a group of 20 participants, including coaches from the social sports school, the project coordinator, teachers, physical education students, and interns. This diversity of profiles enriched the exchange and allowed the content to be approached from multiple educational and sports perspectives.

The social sports school, which operates within the facilities of the Escola Salesiana, serves over 80 children aged between 10 and 14 from this and other nearby schools. The program focuses on minors who require specific support due to their family, economic, or educational circumstances and offers comprehensive assistance combining educational support, football or basketball training, medical check-ups, snacks, and a safe leisure space, addressing a real need for healthy occupation of free time.

Experiencing the methodology from the student's perspective
The training took place in an environment of high commitment and participation. The sessions included practical basketball and football activities with the project's beneficiaries and the participating educators. This dynamic allowed the professionals to experience the methodology from the student's perspective, enhancing their understanding of the real application of the model and teaching values through sports.

The central focus of the training process was learning how to design training proposals based on the comprehensive methodology, integrating the transmission of values. The importance of contextualizing activities, giving meaning to each task, and building sessions that connect with the reality of the students and the educational objectives of the project was emphasized.
