In this podcast episode, we interview Michele Bianchi, an international consultant and practitioner in the sport for development field. Michele is also the co-founder of We Football, a non-profit organisation using football as a tool for social change. Michele explains that sport for development is about intentionally using sport to address broader social goals like education, gender equality, and community cohesion, provided it is applied with structure, purpose, and ethical care. He also shares powerful insights from his grassroots work, demonstrating how sport - when paired with mentorship and safe spaces - can transform individual lives and entire communities.
