Eurocamp 2012 provides a great opportunity for young people from diverse social backgrounds across Europe to enjoy five days of intercultural workshops, football, learning and positive encounters in Wroclaw, Poland. The Committee on Education and Culture sees great potential in youth sports events, which serve as a platform for people from diverse cultures to come together and unite behind their passion for sports. In addition to the exchanges between all participants, the hosts get a chance to present their own culture, hospitality and openness to the rest of Europe. The event will bring together organisations from all over Europe working in the field of Development through Football. These organisations use football as a tool to promote social inclusion and gender equality, provide access 4 to education, encourage healthier lifestyles and set up strategic partnerships for development. Eurocamp 2012 is an excellent occasion to bring together young people for an experience which enables them to develop important life skills and grasp the opportunity to shape their own future. The event will be a great experience for all parties involved. I am confident that all participants will leave Eurocamp 2012 with positive long-lasting memories. Doris Pack Member of the European Parliament Chairperson of the Committee on Culture and Education Wroclaw … to wroclaw ! Dear friends, The RESPECT your Health Eurocamp 2012 will draw on the positive experiences of uefa EURO 2012 and foster intercultural exchanges between young people from all 53 UEFA member countries during five exciting days full of new encounters, fair play, learning and respect. Together, we can make this event a huge success, reaching beyond the football pitch and passing on positive and long-lasting values. Have a great time! Peter Gillieron, Chairman of the UEFA Fair Play and Social Responsibility Committee 5 WELCOME UEFA believes strongly in the power of football to unite individuals, groups and entire nations. Football can be used as a bridge for communication between the many diverse European cultures and societies. These attributes were reflected throughout UEFA EURO 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, which were the first ever European Football Championship finals to take place in Eastern Europe. UEFA also believes that such an event should leave behind a long-lasting legacy and, to this end, we are proud to have implemented RESPECT your Health – Euroschools 2012, the official community health education programme of UEFA EURO 2012, in which over 50,000 children and young people took part in Poland and Ukraine. As another example of our commitment to leaving a legacy that extends beyond the football field, we are happy to welcome you to Wroclaw for the final highlight of UEFA EURO 2012: the RESPECT your Health Eurocamp 2012! EUROCAMP 2012 RESPECT YOUR HEALTH RESPECT YOUR HEALTH RESPECT your Health - Euroschools 2012 is the official community health education programme of this year’s UEFA EURO 2012. The one-year project aimed to promote healthy lifestyles, with a focus on smoking prevention, responsible alcohol consumption, healthy diet and physical activity among young people and their families in Poland and Ukraine. Through a train the trainers approach, local institutions and NGOs in the eight UEFA EURO 2012 Host Cities were empowered to activate their communities and promote healthy living. During the past year, Polish and Ukrainian communities have established a pool of over 600 RESPECT your Health volunteers offering a variety of healthy lifestyle activities for children, young people and their families. Regular workshops for teachers, coaches and community workers, a specially developed guidebook, an interactive website and a physical activity school programme called Muuvit from Finland are just a few of the tools that helped the project reach out to over 50,000 kids across Poland and Ukraine. RESPECT your Health Eurocamp 2012 is the final highlight of UEFA EURO 2012 and RESPECT your Health. The girls and boys from the eight UEFA EURO 2012 Host Cities will be joined by young people from around 50 UEFA nations at Eurocamp 2012 to celebrate Europe´s diversity, football and health. Partners: Poland: Volunteers4Sport, PL.2012, Szkolny Zwiazek Sportowy (SZS) Ukraine: Football Federation of Ukraine, Open Fun Football Schools, Ukrainian National University of Physical Education and Sports, Ukrainian Ministry of Education, Science, Youth and Sports International: World Heart Federation, European Healthy Stadia Network, Muuvit Did you notice the blue RESPECT flag carried into the stadium for the pre-match ceremony of each UEFA EURO 2012 match? The most active boys and girls from the RESPECT your Health projects were selected to carry the flag onto the pitch. 6 Wroclaw Dear participants, Following a successful RESPECT your Health programme, we now proudly host the highlight of this project: Eurocamp 2012. Jakub Kalinowski, CEO Volunteers for Sport Foundation 7 RESPECT YOUR HEALTH RESPECT your Health was a pioneering initiative not only contributing to the positive development of health education, but also to a more cohesive and proactive Polish community. In Wroclaw, we will combine the enthusiasm of RESPECT your Health with the excitement of Eurocamp 2012, and share it with an international community of over 300 invitees from diverse backgrounds. Wroclaw, Poland, will also be the European Capital of Culture in 2016 and will host the World Games in 2017. Approximately 30 local volunteers will ensure that the participants enjoy their time in Poland and take home lasting experiences and impressions as well as new friends from all over Europe.

RESPECT your Health Eurocamp 2012 is far more than just a football event; it is a celebration of the beautiful game and its power to bring people from different backgrounds together. With financial support from the European Commission and in association with UEFA and the City of Wroclaw, Eurocamp 2012 brings together around 250 people from diverse social backgrounds invited from 53 nations for five days of intercultural workshops, football, learning and fun. Eurocamp 2012 in Poland will be a “global village” experience with young people from all over Europe coming together, speaking a range of different languages and representing many different cultures. Delegates will spend the first few days in interactive workshops on various topics such as fair play and youth social entrepreneurship, the EU’s role in youth and sport development, as well as learning more about social inclusion and cohesion through various integrated activities. These workshops provide an excellent opportunity for the participants to demonstrate and develop leadership skills and build new friendships. These will be further strengthened by a mixed-teams football tournament which will conclude Eurocamp 2012. Young Leader team Eurocamp 2012 uses a very special approach by actively engaging young leaders to support the implementation of the event. A group of 32 young people from Development through Football organisations from across Europe were selected based on their active involvement, strong commitment and leadership skills. During a preparatory meeting, they were trained by KICKFAIR in Germany to prepare for their role and learn how to mediate a football3 tournament.

Bringing together young people from across the continent, Eurocamp 2012 is more than just a football tournament – it is a celebration of diversity, dialogue and respect. Welcome to Wrocław for RESPECT your Health Eurocamp 2012! With its multicultural heritage, Wrocław is a city of tolerance and openness, reflecting the richness of Central Europe’s culture. As an official UEFA EURO 2012 Host City, the European Capital of Culture in 2016 and host to the World Games in 2017, we believe that events such as Eurocamp 2012 can help foster social change and promote integration, strengthening a multicultural European identity and removing barriers. We would therefore like to encourage all our European neighbours to visit us and take part in this great event of football, peace and integration. I hope that all participants take home long lasting memories and the spirit of this unique event in Wrocław, Poland. We are especially pleased to continue our cooperation with UEFA and the European Commission, to collaborate with outstanding partners like Volunteers for Sport and the City of Wroclaw, to be supported by some of our most dedicated network member organisations and to work with all European Football Associations and their partner organisations. On behalf of everyone at streetfootballworld, I thank you all for helping to make this event possible and wish each and every participant a wonderful festival in Wroclaw! Rafał Dutkiewicz, Mayor of Wrocław Johannes Axster Co Founder streetfootballworld 9 In 1982 the Orange Alternative, an underground protest movement, opposed the ruling communist regime through a rather unorthodox means of peaceful protest: by simply placing dwarfs and other absurdand nonsensical items on the streets of Wroclaw. Today, more than 180 dwarfs can be found throughout the city of Wroclaw. Watch your step and avoid stumbling over a dwarf. It may bring bad luck! EUROCAMP 2012 Dear friends, EUROCAMP 2012 Integration Activities Guided by our young leaders, the participants will get to know each other while learning about healthy lifestyles and cultural diversity. schedule SCHEDULE Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 07.30 – 09.00 Breakfast Breakfast Breakfast Breakfast 09.00 – 10.00 Integration Transfer Transfer 10.00 – 11.00 Activities Workshops Ceremony Tournament Lunch Lunch Lunch Lunch Tournament Tournament Sunday 11.00 – 12.00 12.00 – 13.00 13.00 – 14.00 Arrival 14.00 – 15.00 15.00 – 16.00 16.00 – 17.00 Workshops Sightseeing tour 17.00 – 18.00 Ceremony 18.00 – 19.00 19.00 – 20.00 Opening Ceremony Dinner 20.00 – 21.00 Dinner Cultural 21.00 – 22.00 Presentations Dinner Transfer Transfer Dinner Dinner + Free Time 10 Free Time Final Party Departure SchEDULE Workshops During the fun and interactive workshops the young participants will discuss youth leadership and learn how it can be used to promote social inclusion and cohesion.

Thanks to its inhabitants, active involvement in the life of the city and Lower Silesia, Wrocław is the cultural, scientific and economic center of the whole region. Full of greenery, and situated on 12 islands connected by some 112 bridges, it is an extraordinary place immersed in the history of over one thousand years. The variety of architectural monuments and wide range of culture and entertainment on offer make Wrocław the second most attractive city in Poland. Participants and spectators are invited to take part in the many side events offered around the pitches – to learn about healthy lifestyles, get to know new sports like slacklining and lacrosse and celebrate together with young and old! Discover Wroclaw on an exciting tour, get a glimpse of its history and find as many dwarfs as you can. 11 football3 rules at Eurocamp 2012 at a glance: – Played on small pitches of 10m x 15m. – Teams will consist of 8 players coming from at least 4 different nations. – Two boys and two girls per team have to be on the pitch at all times. – There is no referee; instead there are mediators to oversee the matches. – Before the match all players come together to negotiate the rules. – After the match the teams come back together to reflect upon the game. – Fair play points are awarded by the opposing team. – The final result is the total of the points awarded for both fair play and goals. EUROCAMP 2012 Workshops for Delegation Leaders An interesting set of workshops for the Delegation Leaders will be offered by Development through Football NGOs Sport Against Racism Ireland, Street League and Albion in the Community. The participants can learn how sports, particularly football, can be used in order to develop multicultural integration, health education and employability. The Eurocamp 2012 football tournament will be played at the UNESCO world heritage Centennial Hall following the football3 methodology. Using special rules, football3 creates a platform for interactive social learning which enables players to experience what treating others fairly – and being treated fairly – means. football3 is a game of “three halves” where the teams come together prior to the match to discuss the rules, then play and then come back again to reflect upon the game.

The sport unit, which is part of the Directorate General for Education and Culture (DG EAC), is particularly committed to supporting sport within all layers of society. The European Commission is the European Union’s executive body, representing the interests of all European citizens. DG EAC believes that sport is a wonderful tool to foster social inclusion and intercultural dialogue, giving young participants the opportunity to get involved. The City of Wroclaw in Poland is the official partner and host of Eurocamp 2012. Wroclaw has for a long time been a melting pot for intercultural dialogue between young people from all over the world. The City of Wroclaw actively promotes the principles of fair play, particularly amongst young people. The City of Wroclaw proudly welcomes the Eurocamp 2012 event participants and guests. Wroclaw boasts a strong infrastructure and free transportation throughout the city for guests and participants. The City of Wroclaw hopes that Eurocamp 2012 will leave a lasting impression on all of the event participants and visitors. streetfootballworld believes in the unique power of football to change lives and bring people together behind a common goal. The streetfootballworld network unites over 90 community-based organisations in more than 60 countries worldwide which use football to tackle issues ranging from HIV/AIDS education and gender equality to homelessness, gang violence and landmines. By connecting network members with partners from the worlds of sport, business, politics and philanthropy, streetfootballworld brings global power to local initiatives. streetfootballworld has successfully implemented social legacy programmes during UEFA EURO 2008 and 2012, with RESPECT your Health Eurocamp 2012 as a further highlight of this year’s European Championship. Volunteers for Sport Foundation was established by several sport enthusiasts in 2009 who believed that volunteer support is crucial for modern sport. V4SPORT.EU created by the Foundation is an innovative portal that recruits volunteers willing to help during sport events or for everyday activities throughout the world. The Foundation cooperates with a growing number of over 60 sport organisations and almost 2000 volunteers. Together with streetfootballworld and Open Fun Football Schools Ukraine, Volunteers for Sport coordinated RESPECT your Health – Euroschools 2012, the official community health education programme of UEFA EURO 2012. Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) – UEFA is the governing body of football in Europe. Its core mission is to promote, protect and develop European football at every level, and to promote the principles of unity and solidarity. UEFA isinvolved in both professional and amateur football and addresses social issues that concern European football and society. After supporting RESPECT your Health - Euroschools 2012 as an official part of EURO 2012, UEFA will now help to bring young people from over 50 UEFA nations together at the RESPECT your Health Eurocamp 2012. 24 Supporting Partners Street League is a streetfootballworld network member delivering services throughout the UK from operational centres in London, the North East of England and Glasgow. The organisation uses a unique programme of football and education to help participants improve their health, extend their social networks and gain a positive outlook. At Eurocamp 2012 they will share their expertise in using football to help young people find employment, education or training opportunities. The European Youth Forum empowers young people to participate actively in shaping Europe and the societies in which they live. The European Youth Forum assisted in recruiting workshop trainers for Eurocamp 2012. Since 1997 Sport Against Racism Ireland (SARI) has supported cultural integration and social inclusion in Ireland by using sport, and particularly football, as a medium to combat racism, sectarianism, homophobia and other forms of discrimination. Presenting their approach of multicultural integration to the delegations leaders at Eurocamp 2012, SARI will show how sports can be used to promote social inclusion in Europe. Albion in the Community (AITC) delivers both educational and football-related projects in Sussex, England as well as youth leadership in Latin America, India, and West Africa, and HIV/AIDS prevention in East Africa. A member of the streetfootballworld network, AITC uses football to tackle inequality, combat exclusion and challenge social barriers for over 50,000 people a year. AITC will hold a workshop on health promotion through football and Eurocamp 2012. The Brandenburgische Sportjugend aims to use sports as a tool for social development in more then 2600 youth clubs in Brandenburg, Germany. Crime prevention, integration through sport, street football for tolerance, mobile street projects, youth camps, sparetime activities and educational programmes are the main pillars of the organisation. During Eurocamp 2012 the Brandenburgische Sportjugend will contribute football pitches as well as directing the football3 tournament. PARTNERS Based on the Street Football for Tolerance method, also known as Fútbol Callejero or football3, KICKFAIR develops holistic longterm, applied concepts for education, learning, training, and schooling. International learning partnerships are a special focus of KICKFAIR’s work. By involving participants in the organisation itself and its projects, KICKFAIR encourages them to take the initiative in developing their own social skills for the future. At Eurocamp 2012, KICKFAIR will lead the football3 mediation during the tournament and coordinate the young leaders in their role as mediators. To ensure a successful football3 tournament, they have trained the young leaders prior to the event at the Eurocamp 2012 preparatory meeting. 25 IMPRINT THANK YOU The RESPECT your Health Eurocamp 2012 would not be possible without the support of our partners and the great effort of all the people involved.
