Santiago

The programme in Santiago, Chile, is called Aprende Jugando (Learn at Play). The children who take part are at significant risk of exposure to drugs or crime. The kids learn life skills through tennis coaching and are supported by the coaches and the members of IC of Chile who participate in the programme, who encourage the children to see that they have different options in life. What the kids value the most, and has the greatest impact, are the opportunities given to join IC activities, junior tournaments and to participate in activities with ex-professional players. The programme provides the kids with dreams, aspirations and the hope to have more and better opportunities in their lives.  The 2017 Aprende Jugando Executive Summary document can be downloaded here
