Allianz Junior Football Camp kicks off its Ninth year at FC Bayern




Allianz and FC Bayern have kicked off the ninth Allianz Junior Football Camp this week, offering children from 25 nations the chance to learn and play with the best of the best. FC Bayern will again host the camp on its famous training grounds, this year taking place from August 17 to 22.

A total of 54 girls and boys will benefit from exposure to top football trainers and players. For the first time, Allianz and the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation have partnered to enable a 17-year-old boy from Afghanistan take part in the Camp.

The Camp began with a lecture on Sports Psychology at the Hotel Limmerhoff in Taufkirchen, Munich, Germany.

“This year´s camp takes the project one important step further, offering coaching for both physical and mental health and going further to encourage intercultural exchange. Allianz is entering its ninth year as sponsor of the camp as a proud advocate of health, community, adventure and team spirit,” said Oliver Kraus, Global Partnership Manager at Allianz SE.

Allianz is dedicated to encouraging its customers and future generations to fulfilling their dreams and will launch a 10-part video series documenting participants’ life stories and experiences at the camp. The webisodes offer glimpse into how the AJFC has improved their lives and will appear on the Allianz YouTube Channel.


The first short film “One Chance to Save his Family from Poverty” features 12-year-old Chandan, a young and talented footballer from India who joined the AJFC in 2016. With a monthly salary of only 40 euros, his mother was not able to afford a pair of football cleats, so Chandan pursued his passion – playing barefoot. In the video, he explains how the AJFC has changed his life: from playing barefoot to becoming a celebrity in this hometown, Chandan has been recognized by his school, home state and the central government authorities. He has even been shortlisted to represent the Baichung Bhutia Football Academy in the U-13 league team.

The Facebook live stream with an FC Bayern player and an AJFC participant will also be broadcasted on August 19 at 9:00 AM CET via https://www.facebook.com/allianz/

Transforming Lives: The Impact of SM Group's KSK Program on Filipino Farmers

  Farming futures Jayson and Juanito proudly showcase a selection of produce at the SM City Clark’s Weekend Market. While modern agricultural techniques boost yields for some, there remains a number of Filipino farmers who struggle to keep pace. These experienced hands find themselves falling behind in a market demanding higher production, clinging to familiar yet often inefficient methods passed down through generations. One farmer from Pampanga, Jayson Garcia, sought to disrupt this prevailing narrative in his family. He knew that he had to chart a new course forward for his farm and innovate to remain competitive within the rapidly evolving landscape of modern agriculture. “Noon, mahirap ang magtanim,” he recalled their life before joining SM Foundation’s Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan. “Para bang tsambahan, basta pag itinanim mo ‘yan, hintayin mo na lang mamunga. Mas mahirap pa lalo kapag nagkaroon ng kalamidad,” he added.  SM Foundation’s training program focused on high-value crop cultiv

A 15-Minute Tropical City in Pasay

  All within 15 minutes: Urban planning concept city to rise in Pasay For the modern urban dweller, 15 minutes is a lot of time.  A lot of productive things can be done – a high-intensity, interval training (HITT) workout or run a 1.5-kilometer route, clearing your emails, meditating, catching up on the news, or preparing a quick smoothie – all within 15 minutes.  But for the Metro Manila commuter, 15 minutes is barely enough to get from point A to point B. During rush hour, it is most likely that within this time, you still haven’t moved an inch.   Ever heard of the 15-minute city? It’s a modern urban planning concept that puts people and the planet first. The term was coined by Paris-based urbanist and Sorbonne University professor Carlos Moreno wherein he said that the ideal neighborhood or city is built in such a way where work, food, housing, education and cultural activities can be easily accessed within 15 minutes, whether by foot or by using a bike.  An artist’s render of a 15-
