Fútbol Más: How Sport Can Transform School Realities
Felipe Narváez
Childhood Education, v100 n5 p20-29 2024
Fútbol Más, which began in three communities in Santiago, Chile 17 years ago, is now a global program that has had a direct presence in 11 countries around the world. Originally, the intention was to develop an intervention through which a social worker professional and a physical education professional would promote life skills and build resilience--all while children played on their neighborhood football field. In order to exponentially increase the impact, what was originally intended for community neighborhoods was adapted to work in contexts of natural disasters, with populations in migration contexts, with children in protection shelters, and eventually in capacity-building with professionals around the world. But the bigger milestone of the program adaptation started in Haiti 10 years ago, where the "Schools" program was first initiated. This article describes how Fútbol Más adapted from community to school environments, including working with teachers and building partnerships.
