With the newly utilised public spaces, the streets carry a much more benign and peaceful demeanour. The project’s aim is to improve the quality of life of its participants through a leisure activity that allows them to develop their identity, their sense of social affiliation, and their potential for peaceful co-existence and conflict resolution. Youths with leadership skills are encouraged to gradually lead activities and expand the street football programme. The organisation also cooperates with schools in the area in order to synchronise their educational methods on the fields and within classrooms. CHIGOL is member of the South American Street Football Network and participated at the streetfootballworld festival 06 in Berlin, Germany.
