At PLAY HANDBALL, we are proud that our youth coach from Kenya is participating in the International Coaching Course at the University of Leipzig, and we have the privilege of supporting him. Brian Kithiny is an active player on the Kenyan national team and also serves as a youth coach as part of our project in Kenya. To sustainably establish handball expertise in Kenya and promote sports development, it was important for us to enable Brian to attend this three-month training for handball coaches in Germany. Brian has big goals, and he sees himself as a role model. He is determined to show the youth in Kenya that it is possible to realize their dreams, just as he has done. He wants to inspire young people in his homeland to believe in themselves and to work hard. A great guy with great goals! In our conversation, Brian shares his first impressions and future aspirations.

Nicola (founder of PLAY HANDBALL) reports on how sport is linked to education and sustainable development and on current seminars and training courses for students, teachers and volunteers on the topic of sport as an educational tool for sustainable development.  Nicola reports: ‘This spring, I once again had the opportunity not only to lecture at Leuphana University in Lüneburg (Germany) as a guest lecturer on the topic of “Sport as an educational tool for sustainable development (ESD)”, but also to give training courses for teachers in the Oldenburg area, sponsored by the OLB Foundation. Over 30 students from Leuphana University Lüneburg took part in the seminar in cooperation with Dr Jessica Süßenbach. This is the second year that we have offered this course, which is open to students from all subjects as part of the complementary study programme, and we will be holding it again next summer semester.
