There are numerous Inter Campus realities in which we operate where strong and constant injustices and conflicts are present; we think of Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, Bosnia Herzegovina, and Congo, where the game of football becomes a universal language and participation in the project makes the children feel part of the same family, protected and safe from situations of danger, discomfort, and clashes.
