CADFA ‘Twinning Teams’ project October 26th to 4th
November 2012
This CADFA football project
‘Twinning Teams’ has a special relation
to Hampstead School and Abu Dis Boys’ School.
The project is organised by
Camden Abu Dis Friendship Association and funded by Youth in Action (European
Union). The Abu Dis team will join a
young Camden team in London for ten days of football training, coaching and
matches as well as joint explorations of London. It is very exciting and the
first time CADFA has organised a football visit, although we have now run very
many youth exchanges between Palestine and London.
The project began as an initiative facilitated by CADFA intended to
bring the Camden and Regents Park Youth League closer to the Abu Dis Sports
Club. Now we find that
Most people on the Abu Dis team (from Abu Dis Sports Club) study at Abu
Dis Boys’ School.
And the Camden team (from South Hampstead Football Club) study at
Hampstead School.
Abu Dis Boys’ School and Hampstead School have been twinned for some
years- now we find that their students will get to know each other directly through their enthusiasm for football
and become friends.
Based on previous exchanges we have run, this will not just be a
football visit but a tremendous learning opportunity for all the boys involved.
At the end of it, the boys will be asked to write reports and they will get a
Youthpass certificate.
Keep an eye on this project blog and there is more information here:
We hope for your support at the Abu Dis/ Camden matches and all the
other events associated with the visit.
