My story of hope is actually a platform of hope, and that platform is Go Click. The brainchild of founder Matt Barrett, it is a global football storytelling platform that helps people understand one another and the world through football.
Go Click sends cameras out to people and communities in all the farthest parts of the world. They use analogue photography, written words, and audio and film to send back their content.
It's very inspirational in terms of the stories that are out there, whether that's a Sierra Leonean amputee football team, Syrian refugees playing in Jordan, or the Iranian women's football team. From grassroots to international level, it's through this cultural, social, and political storytelling and the beautiful game of football that we can learn a lot, feel inspired, and have hope for the future.
