C. was born in Addis Ababa in 1995 and she has been living in Italy since she was eleven. She is the youngest of six children; the brothers and her sister currently live in various countries of the world for working reasons, while she lives with her elderly and disabled mother. C. holds a diploma as an accountant and has been working for two years for a large multinational. She is a responsible girl, dedicated to work and looking after her family. She has been practicing women’s football for years and still defines herself undecided about which sport to practice within this project.

O. was born in Italy in 2000. Her parents are Albanian, she has a younger sister and she gained a diploma in 2018 from the Art School. Currently her priority is looking for a job that will allow her to continue her university studies and financially help her family. The latter maintains lively relations with its country of origin by returning every year for the summer holidays. O. does not seem to be a very integrated girl in the social fabric: perhaps because of her shyness she tends to isolate herself from the rest of her peers. We hope that this opportunity, through sport, will help her overcome her insecurities. She would like to practice pole dance.

F. was born in Italy in 2000 to an Italian father and an Ethiopian mother. The father passed away in November 2019 while the mother currently resides in England for working reasons. Therefore, F. lives in his father’s house alone, demonstrating, a great sense of responsibility despite his young age. He holds a degree as an accountant and finished the first year of university at the faculty of economics. Although it emerges from the interview that his passion is attributable to the IT field, F. tells us that the choice to undertake the faculty of economics was dictated by the prospect of a more certain job. For many years he has practiced martial arts, and through this project he would like to start a fitness course. We believe that this experience can be useful for F. to distract himself from the responsibilities that life events presented him early on.

K. He was born in Albania in 2003 and moved to Italy at the age of six with his parents, both Albanians. He currently lives with his mother, following the separation of the latter with his father, which took place three years ago. He attends the professional school with a hydraulic address. K. shows attitudes little inclined to respect the rules and an exuberant temperament. In our opinion, certain behaviors could be due to family events prior to the separation of the parents. Currently he does not practice any sport and through this project he would like to practice kick-boxing.
