Solidarity and cooperation
Through this branch of programmes run by the Fundació FC Barcelona, the club’s social and caring dimension is consolidated, globalising the commitment of a club that, through different initiatives, is concerned for those people that are most in need, especially vulnerable children and their social environments.
The programmes forming part of this branch have been created integrally by the Fundació FC Barcelona and are the XICS (International Network of Solidarity Centres) and JES (Solidarity Sports Days).

UEFA are continuing the fight against racism this season and there will be a series of activities before FC Barcelona's game against FC Copenhagen on Wednesday evening in Camp Nou.
European football's governing body aim to eliminate the problem from the game and are highlighting the seriousness of it before each of the 16 matches in the Champions League this week. Working with partners Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE), the campaign will be given high-profile coverage as part of activities marking the Action Week.
Video message Before Barça's game against Copenhagen a message will be shown on the giant screens in Camp Nou and matchday announcer, Manel Vich, will read a statement supporting the cause. Both sets of players will take to the field before kick off sporting t-shirts with the anti-racism message while both captains will wear special wristbands.
Blaugrana campaign FC Barcelona are helping the anti-racism initiative as one more aspect of their alliance with UNESCO through the Blaurgana's Fundació. The Fundació have helped to take the subject to the European Parliament with a programme called 'the voice of the young against racism'. The outcome of the project led members of the European Clubs Association to include anti-racist clauses in the contracts of their players. Now the Fundació is planning a new venture with UNESCO for this season.
