“Founded in 2003, the Instituto Fazer Acontecer is a Civil Society Organization of Public Interest (OSCIP) promoting sports activities and training in human rights to young people living in areas with low HDI.
Our work perspective is to educate through play and fun, offering opportunity for social inclusion and development of personal skills to the young participants of the program. With this work philosophy, we have already served more than 6,000 boys and girls over the past 10 years.
We have strategic partnerships and institutional support from the Government, which allows the organization to offer sports oriented educational activities, contributing to low-income adolescents to become agents of their own role in society. We use the playful and educational side of sport to spread values such as solidarity, respect, honesty and cooperation, thus promoting equal participation of boys and girls.
Through our Program Sport is Fun, we can train, meet and disseminate knowledge for teachers, socialeducators and youth throughout Brazil and abroad.”
