The UEFA championships 2012 are a major event in Poland and the Ukraine. Huge amounts of money are invested, stadiums are built, hopes are high for beneficial effects for the two countries and their inhabitants and for increased attention from Europe and beyond. But are these investments really sustainable? Who makes the decisions? Who pays? Who gains? What are the side-effects on the environment? What can the individual do for a better balance of economic, social and environmental interests? This blog shows results of an international seminar financed by the Polish-German Youth Exchange (DPJW/PNWM) as part of their programme 'Spotkajmy się pojutrze - Treffpunkt übermorgen'.
