Location and context
The fifth edition of the Sport Solidarity Conferences was held in Santa Coloma de Gramenet
(Barcelona), town where the Foundation has one XICS centre in operation that works with children
and adolescents with risk of social exclusion. These Conferences on Solidarity and Sport counted
with the participation of the staff from the XICS centre and the children registered in other local
entities.
Activities
The theory activities were carried out at the Mas Fonollar centre and the practical
activities at the town's sports hall of La Bastida. One of the theory sessions was led by the
former player Julio Alberto Moreno and was entitled ‘Management and planning of sport
activities' which dealt with basic aspects for the use of sport as a work tool with vulnerable
youths. As customary in these workshops, the sessions for teachers were free of charge and counted
with the commitment by the attendants to hold Sport Solidarity Conferences in their education
centres, for which they have the support of the Foundation. Boys and girls between 5 and 16 years
participated in the leisure-educational activities.
