Cross Cultures Project Association (CCPA) The CCPA is a Danish non-governmental organisation that operates in ten countries, with activities that are driven by the social context and specific challenges of each country and community. Its approach derives from the understanding that reconciliation in post-conflict areas is a complicated, long-term process. The CCPA runs Open Fun Football Schools (OFFS), a sport-based programme that was first introduced in war-torn Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1998. Since then, the OFFS have expanded into 21 post-conflict countries around the world.
