Football Works project

The Football Works project aims to provide sporting opportunities within prison and use the social value of sports, in particular football, to prepare current inmates with educational workshops and provide them for the time after release so they can be successfully reintegrated into the society and the labour market. This will be done by bringing together various football clubs and prisons across Europe. Therefore, the purpose of Football Works is about trying to reduce the high reoffending rates across Europe by providing employment and volunteering opportunities for released inmates. The consortium believes that sport is the perfect tool for engaging hard to reach groups and reintroduce them to education and prepare for the release.

The consortium is made up of 8 organisations across the Netherlands, Serbia, Norway, Ireland, England and Germany: Dienst Justitiele Inrichtingen (DJI); the European Football for Development Network; The Serbian Ministry of Justice, in particular KPZ Sremska Mitrovica; Stiftelsen Valerenga Fotball Samfunn (VIF); Sitchting FC Emmen Naoberschap (FC Emmen); Bohemian Football Club CLG An Cummann Peile Boithemeimeach Cuideachta Faoitheorainin Rathaiochta (Bohemian FC), Saints Foundation; and Bayer 04 Leverkusen Fußball GmbH (Bayer04).
