Development Center for Youth and DEKI5 Football Camp, connected by the positive values they promote through their activities, received a new recognition – they are part of a partnership that, on the way to creating a new generation of life champions, has received the support of the UEFA Foundation for Children.
On January 26, the second generation of the project “Creating Life Champions”, whose piloting began in 2018, was officially launched in Belgrade. The event, opened with a press conference, was supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Serbia, from which the project coordinator – Development Center for Youth comes, while His Excellency, the Ambassador of the Republic of Türkiye and representatives of the diplomatic corps from the participating countries also strengthened it with their presence.
Wishing to remind that sport is not only about high fees, advertisements, elite competitions, but that in its essence there are socializing, fair play, learning true values and individual development, Development Center for Youth from Belgrade presented in 2019 the concept of “Life Champions”. The concept focuses on creation of good people – life champions, starting from the importance of the role of trainers as educators and pedagogues, but also of parents and club management as significant support in the process itself.
