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'.

Flag confusion... :-)


Belarusian girl painting
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!
