Canacol Energy supported sports training for youth in Córdoba

In its commitment to generate value in the environment where it operates, the company Canacol Energy, affiliated with the Colombian Association of Oil and Gas (ACP), supported the participation of 15 young athletes from rural communities of Sahagún and Pueblo Nuevo, Córdoba, in the first camp of the Argentine team River Plate in Colombia, which took place in Montería.

With this initiative, the company provided the opportunity to live a valuable experience for strengthening the sports training of children and young people from the communities: La Corocita, Las Bocas, El Crucero, La Quebrada, Santiago Abajo, San José, Centro América, Apartada los Limones, Londres, Batania, Las Guamas, Corcovado; and from the councils La Esperanza, Escobalito, and San Carlos.

The development of the skills of young people, the promotion of values such as respect, effort, and teamwork, and their impact on all spheres of life and on the social fabric of their communities were the focus of the meeting.

The experience of living the camp with the leadership of the coaches from the Argentine team generated in the children a new vision of sports and the development of their abilities; in addition, it allowed them to share quality time with their parents or relatives and strengthen bonds of identity and support.
