Europe is more than football

2012

Lviv - 2012

Our team:

Project „Europe is more than football 2012” was established during and after the European Football Championship 2012 in Ukraine in two hosting cities – Donetsk and Lviv. The main goals of the project

were: bringing a spirit of international friendship to kids who had no contacts with international guests

and any chances to get to the stadiums or fun-zones, but had been waiting for the sport event for several years. Together with international and local

volunteers we had to create the spirit of international sport event for local kids and

teenagers and learn a little bit more about Europe than only football.

The goals of the project

Activities were carried out from 7th of May till 20th of July 2012.

There were 6 playgrounds in 6 regions of Lviv city. During the project it was carried out 330 sport

events. In work with children were engaged 12 EVS

volunteers from 7 countries of Europe and 6 local volunteers.

In this period on all 6 playgrounds there were 6113 children/activities
