Safe Sport Project
Our Safe Sport Project brings the power of digital literacy, online safety, and safeguarding education directly to the heart of sports communities. Athletes today are not only champions of physical talent, but also digital citizens navigating an increasingly connected world.
We partner with football clubs, academies, coaches, and sports organizations to ensure that players especially youth are protected, informed, and empowered both online and offline.
