How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Cooperative Competition Model
    methodology: cooperative_competition
    By structuring Capoeira engagement around cooperative competition, we produce mutual skill development and respect between participants, because both individuals improve through shared effort rather than zero-sum outcomes.
  • Youth Development Through Non-Traditional Physical and Cultural Engagement
    methodology: non-traditional-youth-development
    By using Capoeira—a blend of martial arts, dance, music, and cultural expression—as a non-traditional youth activity, we foster psychosocial, academic, and personal development in children who may disengage from conventional sports, because its immersive, play-based, and cooperative nature builds self-confidence, camaraderie, and cognitive skills.
