FC Barcelona, alongside its Foundation and the General Directorate of the Juvenile Penitentiary Centre (CJP), is once again working to assist the reinsertion of the center’s residents by using basketball as a tool for education and learning values. Through the One Team methodology and using life skills such like commitment, respect, teamwork, humility, effort and ambition, the club will work to help their participants experience, reflect and fully comprehend each value contributing to the participants’ stress relief, emotional wellbeing and positive behavioral changes which help them during their stay inside the penitentiary center and facilitate their reintegration into society. The program will feature 20 men between the ages of 18 and 24 years old and the sessions are being held from October 2024 to June 2025.

To further reinforce this message and inspire the participants, athletes and other visitors will join the sessions to come and share life experiences, with the group being able to join two excursions to visit the FC Barcelona basketball arena, Palau Blaugrana, and meet the players.
