The workshop will introduce participants to the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy and Generation Amazing Program. The main focus of the workshop will be around introducing participants to Generation Amazing methodology, which is; using football as a tool for development and building communities. The workshop would include a community walkabout exercise (mini needs assessment) which would help participants understand how to identify social issues within their communities.
Football can change the world.
That’s the belief that drives Generation Amazing – and has done since it was set up in 2010, during Qatar’s successful bid for the FIFA World Cup 2022™.
We know that the power and appeal of football can inspire positive social change in Qatar and globally. We know because we’ve seen it happen – and made it happen.
