Three pathways, one goal

Three interconnected programmes designed to support young people at different stages of their development.

In detail

How each programme works

Programme 01

SPARK Clubs

SPARK Clubs are community-based programmes for children and teenagers. Participants meet regularly during the school year and take part in activities that combine sport, movement and creative expression. These sessions help young people build friendships, discover their strengths and develop confidence in a supportive environment.

Organised in collaboration with schools, municipalities, youth organizations and community centres.

Legends to Hospitals

Legends to Hospitals brings encouragement to children facing serious illness. Athletes and para-athletes visit hospitals to spend time with young patients and their families. These encounters bring moments of joy and inspiration during difficult periods of treatment.

The programme focuses on emotional support and the positive influence of role models.

Programme 03

SPARK Alumni Academy

SPARK Alumni Academy is a six-month programme for young people aged 16–24. Participants develop leadership skills and work together to create projects that benefit their communities. Instead of simply learning theory, participants design and implement real initiatives that create real change.

Graduates can later serve as mentors to younger participants in SPARK Clubs.
