The European Men’s Football Championship will take place in Germany in 2024! This is an opportunity for us to give our FtK program groups a special challenge to increase their anticipation of the European Championship at home and at the same time give the children new knowledge and interests.

The task:

Each location is assigned a participating country in the European Championship. Each FtK team deals with the national team of the European Championship participating country drawn by lot. This may include the following questions: Who is in the squad of the current national team? Which national players also play in the national league? How many times has the team won the European Championship or World Cup? How long has the national team of the respective country been in existence, etc.?

The task is then to present the results of the research. The form of presentation is freely selectable. This can be in the form of a collage, a poster, a photo or a video clip (max. 3 minutes). There are no limits to creativity.

A jury then evaluates the posts and chooses a winner.

The winners:

The winners were honored during the final tournament. The group from Hamburg’s Schule an der Glinder Au was the clear jury favorite and received the trophy. The Hamburgers had produced an elaborate video in which they not only portrayed and presented the team in Poland, but also the country itself. In doing so, the children demonstrated real presenter skills, as they stood in front of the camera with such confidence and aplomb.

Implementation of the key topic of sustainability in the programs

From January 2023, our program groups focused on the topic of “sustainability”. The children learned how the respective partner club deals with the topic of sustainability. The groups carried out further excursions and activities together with the program teachers and program trainers. These included visits to the stadium on the topic of sustainability, trips to the museum for interactive exhibitions and various workshops.

Graduation & presentation in May
