Zagreb Croatia. June 2013.
Project "Play Ball EU style" was a E.U. Youth in Action project held in Zagreb, Croatia on softball fields in the SRC Jarun . The project involved partners from Hungary and Bulgaria. The goal of the project was to educate young people from other partner countries, with non-traditional and informal forms and methods. The group was made up of young people of both sexes between 13 and 25 years. The aim was to provide a framework for young healthy lifestyles, thereby, focusing on the benefits of participation in outdoor activities. The project focused on communication and cooperation of young people who, in their countries, share a common interest in softball. The program combined practical activities and exchange of experience playing softball, differences in cultures, habits, and youth issues. The project facilitated the exchange of knowledge of young people which will help in the creation of new friendships, build self-esteem and will further support the creativity of the individual, national understanding and acceptance of different cultures and their values.
What a great time I had meeting so many young people who really love Softball, 60 athletes from 3 different countries. I was lucky to be asked to head up a team of 10 very committed coaches, who all worked extra hard to make sure the camp was a great success.
