About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Supra Association was created with a passion for sport, mainly for football. Activists become physical education teachers and qualified trainers working in schools and public units in Kwidzyn. People who want to work with young people and infect their passion for movement, sport and football in particular. The task of our association is to train young footballers in Kwidzyn and to promote this sport among children and youth. As part of our work, we conduct football training, take care of children during ongoing classes, organize football matches and tournaments, and take part in them ourselves. Seasonally we organize out-doors tournaments, sports camps as well as other football-related events such as Children's Day or Supra Talent Day. Our trainings take place in the afternoons until the very evening from Monday to Friday, while the matches are played in the main measure on weekends. The target group of our club are children aged 7-16 but in addition, we run a senior team at that time. In spring-autumn - summer we run classes at the city stadium, while in the winter we spend time in the hall. In our work, what counts above all is the willingness to work with children and young people and a passion for a sport which is football.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
