Berlin (Germany), Oct. 2021
Berlin will always be a special place for us because this is where Share & Play was created.
We still remember when we accepted the invitation of Jürgen Griesbeck, the co-founder of Street Footbal World, to come to his offices and help us with what was then just an idea, not even a fully defined concept. We knew what we wanted and what impact we could make, but we lacked the how to do it.
With no previous experience in the world of entrepreneurship, but with a lot of desire, we got into their offices for two weeks to listen, learn and understand what social work with sport meant. Talks about concepts we had never heard before, strategies, measurement systems, communities, social impact, management and a lot of things. A madness… a blessed madness!!!! That was the moment where we saw that this was the kind of work we wanted to do.
Since then every time we are in Berlin, we go to visit them and catch up on what we have done in the last few months. This time we met Thomas, co-founder of Common Goal, who also belongs to SFW.
