Laughter, movement, and the spirit of togetherness filled the day as Allianz and ASA Foundation came together to present the Festival Inclusion Allianz x ASA Foundation on Thursday, April 30, 2026. ✨

From the very beginning, the energy was undeniable. Joined by 50 dedicated special education teachers, 100 enthusiastic students from Ulaka Penca Special School and SLBN 1, 35 passionate Allianz volunteers and staff, alongside 4 coaches and facilitators from ASA Foundation, the event became more than just a gathering it became a celebration of inclusion, confidence, and connection.

The day started with a lively aerobic session, where smiles and excitement instantly brought everyone together. The atmosphere continued to grow during the mini football competition, as participants encouraged one another, embraced teamwork, and celebrated every moment on the field.

Beyond the activities, participants also took part in a financial literacy seminar, opening conversations about building essential knowledge and preparing for a brighter future.

What made the festival truly meaningful was the enthusiasm shared by every individual involved. Every cheer, every interaction, and every moment reflected one powerful message: inclusion creates opportunities for everyone to grow, participate, and shine together.

On 18–19 April 2026, the S.A.F.E. (Sport Against Female Exploitation) Project conducted a Training of Trainee Refresher Workshop in Jakarta, bringing together 30 male and female sport teachers from across Greater Jakarta.

The workshop was attended by Kaixin, Marketing Manager of Decathlon Indonesia, Monica from Talk Cloud, and also Fatur representing Decathlon. The sessions were facilitated by ASA Foundation’s Master Coaches, Coach Tian and Coach Stella.

Over two days, the workshop focused on strengthening teachers’ capacity as S.A.F.E. facilitators through reflection, skills reinforcement, and practical sport for education development application. Key topics included gender equality, gender-based violence (GBV) prevention, safe space facilitation, and appropriate, trauma-informed responses to student disclosures.

Participants also engaged in Edu-Sport activities (futsal, basketball, and volleyball) designed to promote gender equality, prevention of violence, inclusion, teamwork, leadership, and respectful behavior among students.

This workshop supports teachers in delivering more effective, inclusive, and safe learning environments, while reinforcing the role of sport as a tool to prevent GBV and empower young people.

On 16 April 2026, the S.A.F.E. (Sport Against Female Exploitation) project was implemented through a school visit at SMAN 59 Jakarta, engaging students in structured, inclusive sport-based learning.

Introducing Goals for Good! ⚽🌱

Across Indonesia, many children still face barriers to safe and inclusive participation in sport. From limited access for girls and children with disabilities to gaps in safeguarding and growing environmental challenges, the need for change is clear.

Led by the ASA Foundation in partnership with the AFC Dream Asia Foundation, and aligned with United Nations Football for the Goals, this 12-month pilot uses the power of football as a platform to promote inclusion 🤝, strengthen safeguarding 🛡️, support wellbeing 💙, and encourage sustainability 🌱.

As part of this initiative, we will train, educate, and empower 100 male and female teachers and coaches across Jakarta, including disability educators and practitioners — equipping them to create safer and more inclusive sporting environments for young people.

Designed as a learning initiative, Goals for Good aims to build evidence for creating safer, more inclusive, and sustainable communities through sport.

Stay tuned as we kick off the project in July and launch the workshops in August! 🚀

Behind every training session, every match, and every young player’s journey, there is a story of growth, learning, and impact. ⚽️✨

Between 30 January and 1 February 2026, the ASA Foundation visited the Jawa Power & YTL Elite U15 Football for Good Academy to listen, observe, and learn both on and off the pitch.

The MEL & Impact Report (Report 1, 2026) captures that journey: the progress made since our final 2025 visit, the dedication of coaches, the technical, physical, and behavioural development of players, and the challenges that will shape our work moving forward.

This report will serve as the baseline for our 2026 program cycle, guiding us as we continue to use football as a tool for positive change.

Excellent work by ASAF Master Trainer Wahyono Nano, and massive thanks to Wichard von Harrach, Andy Budiarto, Budhi Santoso, Sutrisno Wisnugroho, Hery Kusmadi, and Heru Prasetyohadi for all their support.
