Street league visit Bosnia-Herzegovina

Last week, CCPA OFFS BIH had a pleasure to host two members of British organization Street league.

 

Street league is writing a brochure for Street footbal world organization, on succesfull projects in the world, who manage to successfully use sport as a tool for reconciliation, building democratic processes in once conflicted areas and building peace capacities.

 

 

Charlie and David spent 3 days with Sarajevo office, getting to know us, listening to our stories, going through our archive. On Thursday we took them to the field, where they could witness amazing spin off of OFFS. First, we visited Vojkovici, village next to Sarajevo, where they joined a practice of juniors, all participants of OFFSs in early 2000s. Later on, we went to Kiseljak, where pioneers (boys regularly engaged in OFFS) played friendly match against a club of neighboring town. Last stop was Praca, where they were able to hear the stories about the importance of OFFS in this region, and how the schools helped overcome the issues with municipalities of Sokolac and Pale.

 

Both of them were amazed by the spin off they could see in the field. All the practices and matches we saw were played with CCPA OFFS equipment!
