"HASTA LUEGO", FRIENDS.

We have reached the end of our "STREET FOOTBALL & FOOSBALL" youth exchange in San Lorenzo del Escorial, Madrid from 6 to 13 December.

We have mixed feelings, joy so lived together, so we knows each the other. We talked about the inclusió and integration through football, but the best it's we lived and share the inclusion among us.

WE ARE MORE! - PHOTOCALL

For our project, we created and performed a photocall. A team creative, original and dynamic was commissioned to produce it.

First, we create a scenario. We have drawn, painted and we played to be artists. But everything had a purpose: to make art our ideas of inclusion and integration.

There are many ways to return inclusive the sport and football. We can start for giving up to violence in the sport, we can continue to say a NO to racism; definitely not. We can teach that football and sport is freedom, it is to be yourself, to share good times, we can be real fans. It's just a matter of attitude.

INVASION THE TOWN OF TOLEDO

On Saturday we have invaded the town of Toledo. We carry all our joy and all our ideas about inclusion and integration through street football.

One of our teams has produced a flyer with information about our project, in english and spanish. With great modesty, we must say that the flyer was very creative, so we congratulate to the team that worked on it, thanks guys and girls.

Since we arrived in Toledo we started distributing flyers on the street and talk to people passed by. Many looked at us weird, worse when looking at the flyer-ball the folks smiled. Using gestures we communicate our ideas.

THURSDAY

Today we had session on the topic of inclusion & exclusion in different countries. And during the  discussion we have seen that the exclusion can be not only against people of different “colour” but as well this exclusion can be based on your social status, native language or your beliefs. 

After that we had to prepare some performances to show different types of that phenomenon and how it can be arranged. Guys have chosen several situations that that had survived in their lives and showed them to everybody. But not only showed that situations but as well they explained how did the survived it and what were the solutions of that problems.

STREET FOOTBALL & FOOSBALL IN MADRID

This day was very special. We took the bus in the morning and we headed to visit three important stadiums of Madrid: Vicente Calderon Stadium, Vallecas Stadium and Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

At each stage we have formed teams to play football in the street, play Foosball, interviewing people who passed and we make a photocall.
