FDP – Protagoniști în educație on the European Inclusion Podium through Sport
Recognition at the Be Inclusive EU Sport Awards for the SPORT ME UP Program
For FDP – Protagoniști în educație, standing on the podium in a European final celebrating inclusion through sport is a defining moment. It represents the recognition of over 13 years of dedicated work and an authentic partnership between coaches, social workers, educators, volunteers, schools, and public and private supporters.
At the Be Inclusive EU Sport Awards, the organization was proudly represented by Andresoi Carmen, Executive Director of FDP, who spoke about the true essence of SPORT ME UP: more than just sport, it is an educational and inclusive community that changes lives.
In a Romania where 1 in 5 children drops out of school, the Social Sports School – Real Madrid Foundation program, implemented in partnership with FDP, has achieved a remarkable result: zero school dropout among vulnerable children – from the outskirts of Bucharest to rural areas with limited resources.
SPORT ME UP inspires a love for learning, builds self-confidence, encourages girls to dream beyond imposed limits, and gives every child the chance to discover their potential – regardless of ethnicity, social status, or learning difficulties.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the program has become a bridge between people, communities, and nations, bringing together children and families from different backgrounds but with the same need for safety and hope.
This European-level recognition motivates us to keep moving forward: to innovate through sport, break down barriers, and create environments where every child can dream, grow, and shine.
