Our organization is registered and operates from Wetzlar in Germany. Our work is focused on developing and implementing social projects that have a direct connection to sport, health and education. AIC links its programs with its community of athletes and sportspeople, who contribute their knowledge and experience to carry out the programs.
We currently have an ongoing program, Share & Play, which is focused on children between 6 and 16 years old, where we work to promote social inclusion and pursue two main objectives: the reduction of obesity and overweight and the increase of interest in education.
