Reaching young people with risky behaviors
The Life Champions project will have the launch of entries, according to the same source, this November.
The project will provide a network of 25 AM&DC (martial arts and combat sports) trainers with tools so that they can reach out to young people with “risky behaviors and bring them into the world of combat sports”, using their “adrenaline and their strength”, for their physical and mental well-being, in addition to their social inclusion.
The organization “Fight for Peace” was founded in Rio de Janeiro in the 2000s and currently supports more than 195 NGOs in more than 25 countries using this methodology.
