Tomás Seré
Tomás Seré believes that sport is a fundamental tool for education and integration. He serves as Press Officer for the Argentinian Sailing Federation and previously contributed as a Young Reporter at the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games and Paris 2024 Olympic Games. With a background in political science and a Bachelor’s degree with Honours from the University of Buenos Aires, he currently works as an advisor at the Buenos Aires City Government on issues related to economic development and inclusion.
Passionate about connecting opportunities for others, Tomi – as he likes to be called – is convinced that sport can help every young person become the captain of their own boat.
En JueGo is a non-profit civil association that uses sport as a tool for inclusion, education and development for children living in foster homes, adolescents from vulnerable neighbourhoods and youths with intellectual disabilities. Its mission is to provide safe access to sport while transmitting values such as equality, effort, friendship, respect and self-improvement.
The project works with children aged 6-13 by integrating the Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP) alongside sports such as football, basketball, beach volleyball and judo. For adolescents aged 14 and older, En JueGo positions sport as a pathway for professional and personal growth, offering training to become referees or instructors, or to gain skills relevant to football, sailing and basketball. For adolescents with intellectual disabilities, the project highlights the benefits of regular sports practice in building community, independence and respect for others.
In 2024 alone, En JueGo engaged more than 120 children and adolescents through over 60 interventions with the support of 35 volunteers. It currently runs seven active programmes, including sports initiations for children and specialised basketball and boxing schools, with a daily impact on over 200 participants. Looking ahead, the project plans to expand into sailing in 2025, creating professional pathways for marginalised youth.
