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'.

Premiere - our first post!

Monday, 25 June 2012 - The second full day of our Polish-Ukrainian-German youth seminar in Otwock near Warszawa (PL) comprised two main themes: firstly, sustainable development issues on different levels and, secondly, the possibilities of modern media technologies for publishing our project results.

Shooting the first project video with Adam, our media trainer

A first short video was shot in the lovely garden of our educational centre Mądralin under the auspices of Adam Symonowicz, our media trainer (results to be published soon). After that the four working groups were formed which will concentrate on their topics during the next days. A long day was ended by the screening of the documentary film "The Other Chelsea" by the German film-maker Jakob Preuss. The film portrays the city of Donetsk in the Ukrainian Donbass area, the place which four of our five dear Ukrainian seminar participants hail from.
