RheinFlanke aims to kick start social development processes via football.<br>We target those 20% of young people in Germany that are underprivileged, have less chances and need support either because of their ethnic background and/ or a poor educational level. <br>Through a mix of sport pedagogy and social work we influence values and promote specific social key skills. Since football is a universal language which young people can easily get involved with we are able to reach those young people we target more easily.. <br>Additional projects like ‚work for you‘ and ‚NRWork for you‘ aim to lead and accompany older teenagers in their often difficult transition between school and vocational.
