WHY: Sport, and football in particular, possess the power to change children’s lives! For nearly ten years, since 2006, UNICEF and FC Barcelona have partnered to improve the lives of millions of children around the world. Specifically, FCB has leveraged its huge global reach and popularity to promote the protection of child rights – namely the fundamental rights of children to health, education, protection and participation.
The interaction session therefore, will enable the FCB Legends better understand the situation of children in Uganda.
