„kinder+Sport“ is and international program as part of the world-wide CSR activities of the Ferrero Group. Set up in the 1990s, “kinder+Sport” has developed into an international success story involving millions of kids every year. There are “kinder+Sport” initiatives in 21 countries around the world, with 23 different types of sports. In 2015/2016 alone, 4.4 million kids around the world took part in 7,297 “kinder+Sport” events. The “kinder+Sport” movement program started in German in 2006. It is based on two major themes: support for the German sport badges since 2006 and the “kinder+Sport Basketball Academy” since 2011. 

The “kinder+Sport” initiative is strongly convinced that active children will become active adults. Sport and movement play an important role in the physical development, and prepare children and young people for their life not only as an individual but also as a member of society. To integrate movement and activity into daily life and as a constant habit from the start, it is important to permanently motivate and support children and young people. The concept of “kinder+Sport” is therefore based on long-term projects, which meet five criteria: clear rules, strong partnerships, educational concepts, world-wide development and measurability.
