These areas have been selected because of the large proportion of children living within these refugee communities, representing one of the most vulnerable groups affected by the crisis. The program, in the context of the collaboration between FC Barcelona Foundation and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation was launched in Lesvos with a game and a ‘clinic’ educational activity with the participation of former FC Barcelona players.</p> <p>The second phase of the program will take place in Italy. FC Barcelona Foundation will engage 900 children and teenagers at unaccompanied minors’ centers, many of whom lost their families in war zones or during their journeys towards Europe.</p> <p>The third country where the program will be implemented is Lebanon, and specifically the Bekaa Valley region. Many children in this area have been residing in refugee camps for more than 5 years and more than 70% are not attending school. </p> <p>Integrating children with their local host communities will be a key focus of the program in all three countries.</p> <p><strong>FC Barcelona Foundation sports methodology: FutbolNet  </strong></p> <p>The FutbolNet methodology uses sports as a neutral platform to tackle social problems and provide education on values and reflection tools to stimulate children and young people. FutbolNet is a proven program that has been evaluated and recognized for its social impact and transformation in many countries and in different contexts.</p> <p>The FC Barcelona Foundation will adapt the FutbolNet methodology to the refugee context and will address self-confidence and trauma mitigation, respect, integration, and conflict management between people using dialog as the main tool. FutbolNet sessions will be implemented weekly throughout the year. </p> <p>In addition, FutbolNet Festivals will be organized throughout the year, where participants of the regular FutbolNet program will have the opportunity to share the experience with other children and their families.  </p> <p><strong>Innovation: Sports kit for refugee sites </strong></p> <p>Together with the implementation of the FutbolNet methodology, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation grant will allow FC Barcelona Foundation and FC Barcelona’s Innovation Hub to pilot the development of an innovative, portable, and easy-to-use sports kit specially designed for promoting sports and education values. The kit will be distributed in selected refugee sites through partners and will be evaluated for future use.</p> <p>The <strong>Co-President of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, Mr. Andreas Dracopoulos</strong> stated: “Since the outbreak of the refugee crisis in 2014, the SNF has funded grants totaling more than $25 million to support organizations and civil society efforts in Greece and elsewhere that provide aid to those afflicted. We are excited to support FCB Foundation’s impactful education and sport programs for refugee children in Europe and the Middle East and look forward to witnessing how the universal values of teamwork, effort, humility, dialogue, sport and fun can build friendships and help refugee and local communities connect and truly integrate in a joyful and positive environment.”</p> <p>The <strong>CEO of FC Barcelona Foundation, Mr. Nacho Mestre</strong>, said: “FC Barcelona and its Foundation are profoundly committed to this unprecedented migratory crisis where more than 65 million people have been forced to displacement. The FC Barcelona Foundation is honored by this strategic alliance with such a prestigious organization as the Stavros Niarchos Foundation that will allow us to take a step further in our goal of trying to normalize the living conditions of refugee children and young people, as well as facilitating their integration in the host communities.”</p> </div> <div class="gallery"> <div class="royalSlider imageGallery rsDefault"> <div><img src="/web/20190502192021im_/https://www.snf.org/media/8368761/08062017-_DSC6416_Responsive.jpg" data-big-src="/media/8368761/08062017-_DSC6416.jpg" title="Source: FCB Foundation" alt="Source: FCB Foundation"><div class="caption">Source: FCB Foundation</div> </div> <div><img src="/web/20190502192021im_/https://www.snf.org/media/8368762/08062017-_DSC6402_Responsive.jpg" data-big-src="/media/8368762/08062017-_DSC6402.jpg" title="" alt=""></div> </div> <ul class="paging"> <li><a href="#" class="prev">&lt;</a></li> <li><span class="current"></span> of <span class="total"></span></li> <li><a href="#" class="next">&gt;</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <aside class="additional-data"> <section class="related"><h2>RELATED <strong>PUBLICITY</strong></h2> <ul> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190502192021/http://www.huffingtonpost.gr/2017/06/28/culture-snf-kai-fcb-sto-pleyro-twn-paidiwn-prosfygwn-se-eyrwph-kai-mesh-anatoli_n_17317548.html?utm_hp_ref=greece&amp;ir=Greece">Huffington Post 06/29/2017 (1)</a></li> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190502192021/http://www.kathimerini.gr/921916/article/epikairothta/ellada/to-podosfairo-empneei-ta-prosfygopoyla">Kathimerini 08/08/2017</a></li> </ul></section> </aside> <div class="content"> <div class="share-actions"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.snf.org/en/newsroom/news/2017/06/the-fc-barcelona-foundation-and-the-snf-collaborate-on-educational-sports-programs-to-help-refugee-children/" data-layout="button_count" data-action="like" data-show-faces="false" data-share="true"></div><span class="separate">|</span><a href="#" class="print">print</a><span class="separate">|</span><a class="send" href="/web/20190502192021/https://www.snf.org/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#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"> send</a><span>   this page</span><a class="generic-back-button" href="#">back</a></div> </div> </main> <footer> <div> <div class="social"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190502192021/https://www.facebook.com/SNFoundation" class="fb" target="_blank">facebook</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190502192021/https://twitter.com/SNForg" class="tw" target="_blank">twitter</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190502192021/https://www.youtube.com/StavrosNiarchosF" class="yt" target="_blank">youtube</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190502192021/https://www.instagram.com/snforg/" class="in" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190502192021/https://www.linkedin.com/company/snforg" class="li" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></div> <div class="notice"><img src="/web/20190502192021im_/https://www.snf.org/images/logo-footer.png" class="logo-footer" alt="Stavros Niarchos Foundation"><p><img src="/web/20190502192021im_/https://www.snf.org/images/logo-snfcc.png" class="logo-snfcc" alt="Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center"><span class="snf-notice">The SNF does not necessarily share the views or opinions of the charitable organizations which it may choose to fund or otherwise assist, and no inference of any endorsement of such views or opinions as a consequence of any action the SNF may take in pursuit of its charitable purposes is warranted. <p> Auditors: Deloitte</span></p> <div class="disclaimer"><a href="/web/20190502192021/https://www.snf.org/en/disclaimer/">DISCLAIMER</a><span class="separator">|</span><a href="/web/20190502192021/https://www.snf.org/en/sitemap/">SITEMAP</a><span class="copyright">Stavros Niarchos Foundation</span></div> </div><nav><div class="group"> <ul> <li><strong>ABOUT</strong></li> <li><a href="/web/20190502192021/https://www.snf.org/en/about/founder/">FOUNDER</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20190502192021/https://www.snf.org/en/about/history-mission/">HISTORY &amp;
