#StrikeADifferentTone Program
#ChangerDeTon — A program that aims to offer a space to play, share, and develop as a person to teenagers around Montreal.
About the program
For over a year, #ChangerDeTon has been offering Montreal teenage girls the opportunity to participate in soccer training sessions lead by our qualified coaches and in workshops on public speaking to encourage them to find their voice.
Born from our invitation to the Street Child World Cup to represent Canada in Mexico, this program aligns perfectly with the values of Rêves Passion by using soccer as a powerful tool for growth.
From Montreal to Mexico
In 2025, Rêves Passion Montréal was selected to form a girls' team and participate in the Street Child World Cup.
In May 2026, 10 teenage girls, aged 13 to 18 and from very different backgrounds, flew to Mexico to represent Canada on the international stage.
This event went far beyond soccer: it was an opportunity to share an experience with young people from around the world and to reflect on the situations children face. Surrounded by delegations from some twenty countries, they played, gained confidence, and above all, forged friendships that transcend borders.
Through this experience, these girls showed that they have a voice and that children deserve to have opportunities opened for them. And that is precisely why Rêves Passion Montréal exists: to make sport more accessible, inclusive, and humane for young people who are too often excluded from it.

Our trip to Boston
With the increased visibility soccer received in 2026, we were also invited to take six young female players and one young leader to Festival 26 in Boston, organized by Sport dans la Ville, et accueilli par Boston Scores.
This festival brought together 300 young people from 15 countries to play soccer, but also to make new friends and learn more about the world. Through games, shared activities, tours of Boston, and a Football3 tournament, the young people were able to forge bonds, discover new things, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
