As part of a lasting social legacy in Africa, FIFA and streetfootballworld will develop a total of twenty community hubs  across the continent, featuring education, health and football facilities.

1GOAL
President Clinton himself announced 1GOAL, a global education campaign that aims to ensure that the 75 million children out of school in Africa and the world's poorest countries get access to classrooms, teachers and the future that education provides. streetfootballworld joined Jérôme Valcke, Secretary General of FIFA; Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan; Bono; Jessica Alba; VPs from Cisco and Intel; and other major figures for the announcement.

The following plenary session addressed the crucial role of education and employment opportunities and highlighted an integrated approach that includes establishing criteria and performance indicators e.g. regarding education on the highest levels of economic co-operation.
