The two\u00a0coaches will participate in an International Coaching Course in Kamen Kaiserau in Germany from\u00a025 Mai to 03 June 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador Schlaga praised the programme, as football has a high potential for improving the\u00a0sporting development of a country as well as the characters of its youths. Germany supports this\u00a0development through the training of coaches as they are important multipliers.<\/p>\n<p>The cooperation between the German Football Association (DFB) and the German Federal\u00a0Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is based on their common desire to\u00a0use sport, and in particular football, as an instrument to help achieve development objectives. The\u00a0initiative focuses on training and personality development in specific environments. As a\u00a0contribution to social development, the goal of sustainably teaching social skills and universal\u00a0values to young girls and boys is widely accepted. This allows sport to step beyond its role in non-\u00a0formal education and position itself as an education provider in a special sense.<\/p>\n<p>To reinforce this trend, DFB and BMZ are organising their first multipliers\u2019 course for selected\u00a0sports coaches focusing on football, including the two Namibian coaches. During the course, the\u00a0participants from around the world will become familiar with the Sport for Development approach\u00a0and learn various methodological skills.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Sibanda said that she is very excited to travel to Germany. \u201cI look forward to meeting new\u00a0people and learning new information \u2013 including topics beyond the football pitch. I want to bring\u00a0that information back to Namibia so I can apply it here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WINDHOEK, Namibia, May 13, 2016\/APO (African Press Organization)\/ &#8212; On 11 May 2016 the two Namibian football coaches Thuba Sibanda and Juliana Skrywer were bid\u00a0farewell by Luise Haunit, Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and\u00a0Christian Schlaga, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany at the Embassy.
