Resume

The goal is to give the participants a possibility to become active citizens in the local community, to give them the possibility to involve themselves in the local sports, and at the same time, develop relational basketball environments across genders, clubs and geographical areas. Denmark is world known for our associations (sports clubs and otherwise) and the way we run them through volunteering. We have a wish to share this specific and competent knowledge of volunteering and in particular our knowledge of running and developing clubs and associations. It is also our ambition to learn about the challenges of running an association on Zanzibar and use that as a baseline for sharing the values and principles that we use in Denmark, as the foundation for healthy and sustainable associations. It is our ambition through sports to create social ties between the participants on our children’s camps and the coaches participating in the Training courses. we believe that by strengthening the social competences in the children and adults with who we collaborate and work with, we will be a part of securing a better daily life for the individual. The Global Goals are a key part of our work, and we use the directly in our training courses and childrens basketball camps as an educational platform to teach about them.
