EFDN programmes at Ferencvárosi TC are well underway

Ferencvárosi Torna Club continued delivering sessions in the Community Champions and the Scoring for Health project.

Community Champions League

Last month, the club visited three elementary schools and H52 Youth office in Budapest. The focus of these sessions was on a supportive environment and the role of the family in young people’s lives. The workshops were moderated by the H52 Youth Office. Player & athlete involvement is a key element of the Hungarian club’s projects. This month their guests were Mihály Kótai – former boxing athlete, Kristóf Pap – athlete, Márk Spitz – waterpolo player and Evelin Fenyvesi, women’s football player. 

Despite the pandemic challenges, the Community Champions League project of the European Football for Development Network and Ferencvárosi Torna Club is still rolling and the club is glad to their dedicated project staff members, players and athletes, and their partners and participants in schools. 

The Community Champions League is an EFDN project in partnership with nine community-engaged football clubs from the Netherlands, England, Scotland, Norway, Portugal, Hungary, Belgium and Germany. NAC Breda, Feyenoord, Aberdeen FC, Chelsea FC, Club Brugge, SV Werder Bremen, Vålerenga Fotball, Ferencvarosi TC and SL Benfica deliver the Pan-European programme in collaboration with EFDN. It is a social street football competition organised locally in nine cities in eight different European countries, where the participating teams can win more points through Fair-Play, Fair Support and Volunteering in community activities than by winning their street football matches.

Scoring for Health

Ferencvárosi Torna Club continued delivering sessions in the Scoring for Health project. Last week they visited three classes of an elementary school in Budapest. The focus of these sessions was on healthy nutrition, including the importance of a healthy breakfast & water consumption. The sessions were moderated by the the foundation’s nutritionist.
Next week the club will visit a supermarket with their participants, where they can learn about healthy snacks & conscious shopping.

Scoring for Health (EU) aims to tackle the problem of childhood obesity which, as identified by the World Health Organization, is still a critical issue throughout Europe today. With the underlying target of promoting a healthy diet and lifestyle amongst children, their families and wider communities across Europe, the programme supports the 3rd UN Sustainable Development Goal of Good Health and Well Being and is funded by Erasmus+.
