Football Meets Culture Education and Unity Charity Collection

Creating Equal Opportunities Through Football, Language & Culture

“Fußball trifft Kultur” (FtK) is an education program by LitCam e.V. that gives children from under-resourced neighborhoods better chances at school and in life. At more than 20 sites across Germany, FtK combines what kids love – football – with what they urgently need – language support, learning skills and cultural experiences. In close cooperation with schools, football clubs and local partners, children are supported over the course of (at least) two school years with continuous training and mentoring.

Twice a week, the kids spend one half of the session on the pitch and the other half in the classroom: football practice to build team spirit, self-confidence and fair play – and language & learning support to strengthen reading, writing and communication skills. Excursions to museums, theatres and football stadiums open new horizons and make culture tangible.
