SANT EDWIGE - Inter Campus
Poland has been up and running since 2002 on the outskirts of Krakow.
The project is run in partnership with local association Parafialni Klub
Jadwiga, the parish sports club with more than 800 members, who aim to
promote children's development through football.
The fruitful
relationship between the two parties first came about a decade after the
fall of the Berlin wall. Since then, Inter Campus and Jadwiga have
worked side by side to teach moral values, using the game of football to
contribute to the local children's development and upbringing.
Respecting the rules and others, loyalty and courage are all a part of
sport, an example of how to conduct oneself on and off the pitch.
Football is a great lesson in life for the youngsters.
Work in
the Sant Edwige area of the city is proving successful. Over the years,
Inter Campus have committed to training a group of local coaches. They
have taken on board the project's methodology, sharing its educational
and social values, and - besides working as educators in Jadwiga - they
have also contributed to the other Inter Campus sites in the region: the
orphanages in Kazimierz, Sieborowice and Pawlikowice and the young
offenders' institute in Gorka Naradowa.
Their first aim is to educate using the game, helping orphaned young boys and girls in their development.
The
project is all about training, education and lots of passion for a
sport which is making waves at national level too, with the Polish
national team making the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, inspiring the new
generations of Nerazzurri youngsters in the country. Football is on the
up in Poland and we're delighted to be a part of its growth.
