Despite the Corona pandemic, in 2020 we started with very important youth work – inclusion of Roma kids in football team NOVA ŽENA. In prime school in Semizovac we held inclusive workshop and continued with trainings, but now with Roma girls and boys. Supported by Fare network/FootballPeople campaign.
During 2019, we moved from Vogošća to Semizovac and continued to popularize women’s football in small communities. Regular activities (trainings twice per week/occasional football matches) and beautiful sports equipment were made possible by the German Embassy in Sarajevo.
In the yard of the primary schools in Gora and Semizovac, we planted native Bosnian apple, pear and cherry trees. For some 5 years, future generations will have a free and healthy meal in these school yards, and we have taught the kids how to preserve natural heritage. The project “Preservation of natural heritage for kids in Semizovac” was supported by the Municipality Vogošća.
With the support of UNDP, we continued to develop women’s football and gender equality in sports. During the nine-month project (2018-2019), we trained twice a week and organized 4 football matches with other women’s football clubs. And we played in our first jerseys.
Equality is important to us, but clean and safe environment also. Through the project “Awaken Your Ecological Awareness” we cleaned garbage from the street near the prime school at Gora, build trashcans, and posted motivational messages for nature conservation. Supported by Schüler Helfen Leben.
