Sport for Life launched in Mozambique in May!

From April 30 to May 12, we finally launched Sport for Life in Mozambique through a powerful train-the-trainer in Maputo, in collaboration with Okhaliha (Mozambique Sport Managers Association) and the Mozambique Olympic Committee (MOC).

Opening Ceremony of the Sport for Life Launch Project, on April 30 at MOC, with course participants, facilitators, and representatives from Okhaliha and MOC

 

29 participants, many with previous experience organizing community sport activities, took part in the Sport for Life Course during week 1, and organized the first-ever Sport for Life event in Mozambique, on May 5th at Municipal Stadium 7 de Abril.

20 graduates from Week 1 took part in the Train-the-Trainer during Week 2, and organized the second Sport for Life event, on May 12 at Campo do Bagamoio. At the end of the training, newly trained Sport for Life facilitators made commitments to continue spreading Sport for Life in Mozambique in the months to come. We are watching and ready to support as necessary.

We see this process as “planting seeds”, with the expectation that they will germinate in these facilitators’ fertile ground and grow into beautiful trees and then forests, spreading Sport for Life around the whole country. Participants and organizers were on fire at the end of the two weeks, as can be seen in this video (shouting a variation of “Just do it!” in Tsonga language).
