Together strong: Education Arena Circle Purple promotes team spirit in the stadium
In the Augsburg WWK-Arena, students from the Langweid middle school experience a very special day. As part of the new project "Education Arena Zirbelnuss", take part in a workshop that goes far beyond the sporting skills.
a new approach to promoting community
The heart of the event is a football course that not only promotes physical fitness, but also personal development. Marlene Hartung, the head of the workshop, explains that it is primarily about bringing young people closer to the value of teamwork and mutual respect. "We want the students to learn to recognize their strengths and support each other," said Hartung.
community formation through sporting activities
In the first part of the workshop, the students are asked to maneuver the ball through a course set up. But the team does not play with full commitment, which moves hardening to act. It gives valuable tips to improve team dynamics: the students should cheer on each other and fit faster when the ball rolls. The goal is to strengthen the self -confidence of the participants and to encourage them to talk more openly about their skills.
a teaching approach with a wide horizon
The workshop is not just a sporting activity. The class teacher Simone Boppel sees the initiative a decisive factor for the development of her class. "They were individualists in the fifth grade. Today they work together as a team and help each other," she explains optimistically.
The "Education Arena Zirbelnuss" and its acceptance
The project, which has existed since June 2024, is accepted with great success. Workshops are booked up to the coming April, which shows the immense demand for such offers. The educational arena is based on 7th grade students and increases the topics of sustainability and social education in addition to teamwork.
political education through sport and community
The commitment of FC Augsburg underlines the importance of the project. Alexander Del Sorbo from sustainability management emphasizes that it is an important pillar of the strategy to get children in motion and at the same time integrate forming measures. "Through these special learning places, we achieve young people in a different way," says del Sorbo, who notes that such experiences offer not only sporty, but also social and political education.
insight behind the scenes
A highlight of the workshops is the stadium tour, in which the students see areas that are usually not accessible to the audience. This unique experience is perceived by the participants as a special moment - a real highlight that they are proud of.
conclusion: a milestone for the sense of community
Overall, the project "Education Arena Zirbelnuss" shows the potential of sport as a means of promoting community and personal skills. The combination of learning, teamwork and sporting activities creates a positive atmosphere in which the young people can not only develop their sporting but also their social skills. The positive effects are already noticeable in the class, and it remains to be seen how the group will continue to develop.
