About streetfootballworld
THE OTHER DIMENSION OF THE GAME
Around the world local organisations are using football as an instrument to overcome social challenges in the fields of Children’s Rights & Education, Anti-Discrimination & Social Integration, Environmental Protection, Health Promotion and Peace Building. Through the game, fundamental values are being communicated and impulses given to inspire positive change among both individuals and communities.
Our Vision: Using Football to Change the World
streetfootballworld believes in the power of football in order to contribute to an environment of social change on a global scale. Since 2002 we have been linking relevant actors in the field of Development through Football with the goal of promoting global partnerships for development. The name streetfootballworld does not only represent footballers who play on the street. It is about the street as a symbol for public space and football as a universal instrument for social change – world-wide.
Interface between Investors and Social Entrepreneurs
Together with local organisations from the streetfootballworld Network, we systemise successful experiences in the field of Development through Football and develop new and innovative solutions for social challenges (Projects). These solutions are translated into investment opportunities or become integral parts of regional and global development strategies (Services). streetfootballworld sees its role as an interface between local organisations and companies as well as institutions that are interested in sustainable cooperation in the field of Development through Football.
Promoting Social Development together with the World of Football
Within the framework of the Football for Hope Movement, jointly implemented with FIFA, streetfootballworld is activating the world of professional football. Clubs, associations, players and commercial partners are acknowledging that football itself can be an instrument in solving a variety of social challenges, if used consciously and effectively. The goal of the movement is to have made a meaningful contribution to the UN Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
