Commitment for Ghana: Dippoldiswalde shows Herz

In Dippoldiswalde, two students, Lina and Lennox, launched a remarkable project as part of the "Interest social social - your work against poverty. They collected used table tennis equipment with a lot of enthusiasm to help a table tennis school in Ghana. The idea for this campaign came about when Lina was impressed by a video that showed children who played with defective rackets. This motivated the two students to work for a better future of their Ghanaian peers, such as the Sächsische reported.

Supported by the local table tennis shop in Dippoldiswalde, which is shaped by Hennig Gottwald, the two students gave a great lecture and collected over 100 used table tennis and around ten wood. Even four new deposits found their way into the collection. The materials are now sent to Ghana, where table tennis is not only sport, but also a means of personal development for children.

What exactly happens with the collected materials? In Ghana, Godwin Aseku, a national player in the country, becomes active on site and takes care of building a training structure in the region around ACCRA. The project also receives support through financial means and the transport of the materials that the Gottwald team organizes. The initiative is part of the long -term "Play for Africa" ​​aid campaign, which aims to promote children and adolescents through sport and to strengthen the community, such as OpenPR explained.

In addition to the initiative, the students also took part in an interactive course for media production and learned a lot about the challenges in video production. Your video was spread through the social media channels of the table tennis shop to further increase interest and mobilize additional donations.

sustainable education in sports

The project fits perfectly into the current discourse on education for sustainable development (BNE), which is also becoming increasingly important in physical education. Among other things, BNE addresses environmental and social justice as well as the global connections between lifestyle and major challenges. These topics can also be taken up in the context of sports and games in order to promote awareness of fair trade and sustainable practices, as on Move4sustainability is described in detail.

With projects such as “A world creates masters”, schools and sports clubs are motivated to develop their own solution ideas and small projects that make sport sustainable. Such initiatives not only want to enrich sport itself, but also offer valuable inspiration for the future. An exciting exchange and the connection of local commitment to global topics complete the picture.
