C4C with Beyond Sport in Cape Town
Jan 4, 2012
In early December 2011, C4C Development Manager Adam Hall, was invited to be a part of the Beyond Sport Summit 2011, in Cape Town, South Africa.
This was a week of global Sport For Development groups getting together to share ideas and network, where Adam was invited by Barclays Spaces For Sports to represent StreetChance London to take part in the discussions and pass on his thoughts and expereince.
Adam was on a panel titled, ‘Crime Reduction Through Sport’, where he sat alongside people from the Philadelphia Eagles Community youth scheme and Hope Academy SA.
The discussion revolved around how having links with local law enforcement agencies could create safer spaces for young people to feel safe and take part in sport thus lowerring crime in certain areas.
StreetChance London is a key working model of this, as they work very closely with the Metropolitan Police, to ensure that relationships on inner city urban estates are built and developed between the police and young people.
Adam said “Being in Cape Town is a great honour. It is great to show the world that in an extremely urban city like London that sport can break down barriers.
It’s been great sharing stories with Lord Paddy Ashdown, Tony Blair and all the other amazing people here doing great work around the world. It is great that we can be seen as a group of people leading the way in sport for development through cricket”
C4C would like to thank Barclays Spaces For Sports for inviting Adam to attend the Summit.
