About the program: Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul organizes this season's One Team program along with SosyalBen as a social partner. SosyalBen Foundation is a non-governmental organization which aims to enable children aged 7-13 in disadvantaged areas to explore and develop their talents. The program’s main objective is to provide awareness about substance abuse and digital addiction to a group of 14 participants and encourage them to internalise basketball values within their daily routines. Due to COVID-19 restrictions the program is running remotely, using online sessions where participants can meet with coaches, volunteers and experts to learn about specific topics.
