The Real Madrid Foundation has conducted two courses in India with the aim of strengthening the training of coach-educators involved in its social sports schools. The programs held in Kerala and Varanasi focused on the practical application of education in values and the comprehensive teaching model underpinning the educational program For a REAL Education: Values and Sport.
The sessions addressed aspects related to student-centered training planning, teaching strategies to promote active learning, and tools to integrate values into football sessions. One of the most noteworthy aspects of both training programs was the educators’ demonstrated ability to create engaging and context-adapted proposals, aimed at both sports learning and the personal development of participants, fostering maximum participation of boys and girls in the activities.
Saint Mary Social Sports School
The first training took place at the Saint Mary social sports school in Kerala and brought together 16 educators from the projects in Kerala, Kheadah, Pudukottai, and Tiruchirapali. Together, these schools benefit 887 boys and girls thanks to the support of collaborating entities such as Fundación Esperanza y Alegría, the Friends of the Institute of Mothers and Children Association in Spain, and various local congregations and educational institutions.
Daffi School
The second session was held at the Daffi social sports school in Varanasi, with the participation of eight educators, coordinators, and professionals from the Khushii organization, a local partner of the Real Madrid Foundation in the region. These projects are driven by the collaboration of Roadis and currently benefit 100 boys and 100 girls in the Daffi and Naveen schools. Soon, the beneficiaries of the new school in Sasaram will be added, reaching a total of 400 participants in the area.
The ongoing training of educators is one of the fundamental pillars of the Real Madrid Foundation‘s methodology and ensures that the values of sport reach beneficiaries through educational experiences tailored to the realities of each community.
