With EUROKiK, we are bringing the fascination of EURO 2024 into Germany’s classrooms.
\nWe use the enthusiasm for soccer and the European Championship as motivation, learning content and an object of cultural education.
\nOver 150 elementary school and 4,000 children will be part of the project in the 2023 \/ 2024 school year.
\nExciting events, an exciting challenge and great prizes await the participating children. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

As part of the EUROKiK draw, a European country was drawn for the more than 150 participating schools nationwide.
\nThe draw took place on December 5, 2024 at the German Football Museum in Dortmund.
\nThe tickets were drawn by prominent supporters of the project: In addition to children’s book author Joachim Masannek, the participants included Roman Weidenfeller (former professional footballer and ambassador of the host city Dortmund for EURO 2024), Bernhard Gutowski (Managing Director of the EURO 2024 Football and Culture Foundation) and TV presenter Sven Voss. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The participating groups then dealt with “their” country as part of the EUROKiK Challenge.
\nTogether with their teachers, the school classes created an artistic and cultural contribution with a country-specific and football-related theme.
\nThe characteristics of the country were presented as part of a creative country presentation and submitted digitally.
\nThere were no limits to creativity: from pictures and posters, to songs and texts, to plays or dances, all artistic forms of presentation were allowed to impress the jury.
\nThis jury selected the best entry for each of the 24 countries.
\nThe winner of the EUROKiK Challenge was chosen from these 24 entries in a public vote. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Experience European (soccer) cultures up close: That was the aim of the EUROKiK exchange games.
\nOver 150 children taking part in EUROKiK traveled with their classes to partner schools in the Netherlands, France and the Czech Republic.
\nThere they not only had the opportunity to experience the cultures of the respective countries, but also to put their soccer skills to the test in matches against and with the partner schools.
\nThe days were rounded off with joint intercultural buffets, visits to stadiums and places of interest and joint workshops. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Playing on the pitch of a big soccer stadium for once: This dream came true for around 300 participants in the EUROKiK project.
\n3 weeks before the start of the European Football Championship 2024, the children, who traveled to Bochum from all over Germany, were in for a special event.
\nThey competed on behalf of “their” European countries in a soccer tournament and presented the respective countries at the festival’s cultural stations. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
