The Club was able to win thanks to projects as “Juventus Goals for Education”, “Fair People”, “Un Calcio al Razzismo” (A Kick at Racism), but also “Juventus for Special @ School”, the programme for which Juventus was nominated for the More than Football Award 2019 at the 13th EFDN Conference in Barcelona.
Juventus For Special@School is a sport project with social impact which is dedicated to people with cognitive-relational disabilities. In addition to the sports activity, there is an educational dimension to the project, a new path that is able to involve the new generations and is aimed at overcoming the prejudices and stereotypes related to disability.
