Barçakids – Barça Foundation

Barçakids is a programme developed by the Barça Foundation for children aged 6 to 12 years.

The programme follows the goal of encouraging children in the analysis and knowledge of habits and attitudes. By using sport as a motivational tool, the children learn about creating change and personal and collective growth.

The programme has two areas: one being in the classroom and one being virtual.

The classroom sessions are carried out in the Camp Nou facilities. Students are divided into groups and each group devotes an entire day to the project.

‘Barçakids’ is based on a mobile resource unit that consist of a small soccer field including sports equipment, screens, touch tables and school supplies.

With these tools being available, each school chooses between five teaching units. Each unit is based on a value: respect, effort, ambition, teamwork and humility. The unites are part of the value system of FC Barcelona. Additionally, they are confirm with the ideologies of institutions as UNICEF and the curriculum of the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

The classroom programme is available for schools in Catalonia and other Catalan speaking regions.

The virtual environment (www.fcbkids.cat) programme aims at providing educational and recreational resources to the educational community (teachers, educators, families and children) that can be used outside the schools.
