PROJET
TERMINÉ
This project departs from the premise that sports represent an activity with a very high potential for bringing people together, independently of their nationality, age, social status etc. Throughout the past decades, the basketball clubs of Hódmezővásárhely and Čoka have been focusing on the training and formation of junior players, having also provided sport facilities for the young generations of the cities and the neighbourhoods. Both cities have thus contributed to a strong tradition of junior basketball training. By the means of the present project, the Partners aim to further boost the basketball culture in the region and to popularize sports practicing among children and adolescents. Given the great successes achieved by famous basketball players in Serbia, this project will encompass an important knowledge and capacity transfer to young players in Hungary. Within the project, the following activities are to be undertaken:1. Organisation of a joint school basketball tournament consisting of six stages (qualification and eliminatory matches), which will be extended to attracting participants from Csongrád, North-Banat and Central-Banat counties; 2. Organisation of two advanced level training courses for sports trainers and sports teachers 3. Organisation of two joint training camps for youth. Along with these core activities, the project will involve several visibility elements, in order to promote the societal role of sports and physical education for youth. Through these actions, the project Partners seek to relaunch a fruitful history of cooperation across the Hungarian-Serbian border and bring a quality contribution to the development of the young generation residing in the border region. Achievements: This project was based on the premise that sport is an activity which has very high potential for bringing people together, regardless of their nationality, age, social status, or gender. In the past decades, the basketball clubs of Hódmezovásarhely, Hungary, and Doka, Serbia, have focussed on the training and formation of junior players, but they also provided sport facilities for the younger generations in the towns and their surroundings. Both towns thus contributed to a strong tradition of junior basketball training. The partners in this project aimed to boost the basketball culture in the region and to popularise sports-playing among children and adolescents. To this end, they organised joint school tournaments in basketball, two advanced-level training courses for sports trainers and sports teachers, and last but not least, two joint youth training camps.The close professional cooperation was fruitful and with lasting impact. The young players who participated improved their proficiency in basketball, became familiar with each other’s cultures, while the trainers and teachers exchanged experiences and knowledge, which will increase the quality of this sport in the border region.
