The various activities carried out alternated between exercises to develop game skills and group discussion phases to reflect and apply sports teachings in everyday life. The proposed games also captured the interest in the stands of local fans and media who watched the project with enthusiasm, taking advantage of the occasion for brief interviews with Awudu Abass and Daniel Hackett, the latter an Ambassador of the project and fresh off a renewal that will tie him to the Virtussina robe until 2026.
