Football for Peace Project (F4P)

I have written a short paper, mainly for my own self-education (OK, quite possibly for future coaching goals and aspirations!) I'm intrigued by new coaching methods and I found the 'humanistic' aspect to Football 4 Peace (F4P) quite invigorating. As I am a student on the Global Citizenship module in Education Studies, taught by Phil Bamber, the philosophy of F4P touches on many of the desired learning outcomes of Global Citizenship education and explicitly deals with sensitive issues we have learned about, inter alia, religion, culture differences, human rights and cross-culture collaboration.

Please find a copy of the paper here, and feel free to add comments below.
