Flag confusion... :-)

Polish flag on
German cheek
- lubie to!

Football is not always just about playing with a ball - identities and allegiances are also something that can be played with!

Maybe this should be done more often...?


PS: If the girl hadn't run out of the blue colour, I would have loved to have the Ukrainian flag on my other cheek!

Волонтерское движение в Украине

Футбольный чемпионат Евро-2012 позади. И то, что чемпионат прошел на высоком уровне и заслужил признание во всем мире, - немалая заслуга украинской молодежи. На кануне проведения Евро-2012 в адрес Украины звучало много критики и негатива. Но, несмотря ни на что, нашей стране удалось организовать и провести футбольный чемпионат на самом высоком уровне. Иностранные фанаты были поражены украинской гостеприимностью, отзывчивостью и радушием. И большая заслуга в этом именно волонтеров.

Film "Eurowork"

The following short movie was created under the topic "work/labour in the context of EURO 2012" by Jowita Omiecińska, Daniel Panasiuk and Anne Mühlich (see also the previous post on this topic).

EURO-work?

The Polish capital with its 1,8 Mio. inhabitants made on me always an impression of a busy, fast growing and lively city, but during the European Football Championship it was even more of almost everything. More "reklama", more people (especially more tourists who tried to test the policemen whether they do speak English or not), more closed roads and also more workers on the streets.

It was obvious that through EURO 2012 a lot of new jobs were created... people working as gardeners, cleaners, policemen, distributors of leaflets, for security-purposes, to put make-up on people in the colours of the countries and, last but not least, the construction workers, who built the highways and, for example, the Warsaw National Stadium.

But who are these people? How were their work conditions? And will they have to face unemployment after the EURO 2012? Of course it is a broad topic, but maybe there are some points to learn about this.
