Values of the club
Futbol Club Barcelona, better known as F.C. Barcelona or simply Barça, is a club that goes beyond sport, representing a series of values that form part of its identity and philosophy.
These values are reflected both on and off the field of play and are the basis of the training at its youth academy and football school, the Barça Escola.
Respect
Respect is one of the fundamental pillars of the club, both in the relationship between players and in the interaction with opponents, referees and fans. A culture of mutual respect is fostered, where each individual is valued for their skills and contributions, regardless of their origin or status.
Humility
Humility is another outstanding value, as the club understands that success is the result of teamwork and collective effort. Although Barça has achieved extraordinary levels of success, it maintains an attitude of humility in its approach to the game and the competition.
Effort
Effort is valued in both winning and losing moments. Players are encouraged to give their best at all times, regardless of the final result. This value also extends to the fans and the wider community, promoting a culture of hard work and dedication.
Teamwork
The concept of “Més que un club” (More than a club) also manifests itself in the importance Barça places on teamwork. The club prides itself on its collaborative style of play, where each member of the team plays a crucial role in the collective success.
Innovation and Creativity
Finally, F.C. Barcelona also values innovation and creativity, both in playing tactics and in the management of the club. This is seen in its tactical approach, which often challenges traditional football conventions, and in its use of technology and data to improve performance.
These values not only make F.C. Barcelona one of the most successful football clubs in the world, but also make it an institution that has a significant impact beyond the sport.

Depending on the location, there are more or less groups of children, which are made up of 10 or 15 depending on age and gender, and are divided into initiation, pre-training, training and pre-competitive.
Every year, thousands of children sign up for the Barcelona Campuses to learn football techniques and tactics, as well as values for their training.
The activities take place during the summer months, during the school break in June and July. There they train all day in two shifts (morning and afternoon) and in some cases they sleep at the Campus. In the case of the academies, the training sessions are longer and they train more days per week. Normally in the academies, the children sleep in the facilities provided.
The activities start at 9am until 7pm. A typical day consists of: an early morning training session, swimming pool or leisure activities until noon, lunch, afternoon training session, plus complementary activities until departure or rest time.
All participants in the different camps receive a Barcelona club backpack, two training shirts, two pairs of shorts, two pairs of socks and a cotton walking t-shirt.
These camps are ideal for boys and girls to learn the values of football along with the techniques and tactics that make Barcelona different from other clubs. They are taught to share, to have fun, to learn by playing and to improve every day.
During one week, they are in contact with children of the same age from other Spanish cities and with a group of teachers who make their stay very profitable.
