Last Thursday (9), the project 'Campo dos Sonhos / Jogaremos Juntos' was in the community of Cantagalo, in the South Zone of Rio, to carry out another selection with boys and girls between 5 and 15 years old with talent for football. The initiative, conceived by the Social Responsibility and Base Football departments of the CRF, is the result of a partnership between the Gávea club and the Subprefectures of RJ.
In addition to discovering promising young athletes, 'Campo dos Sonhos/Jogaremos Juntos' also offers training for educators who use soccer as a tool for social transformation for children and young people living in communities. The project uses socio-emotional learning through a methodology that fosters values such as resilience, perseverance, and self-confidence, rooted in the club's core values.
