whoZnext team• Outfit for members of the whoZnext team

• Involving immigrant youngsters is not easy
whoZnext team & the street
• Taking groups and contacts already in place as starting point
• WhoZnext methods are closely linked to what community sports workers are used to
• Mixed composition
• Continuity is a concern (few external incentives)
• Approaching clubs and schools is not easy
State of affairs

successful’: people are becoming involved and want to join up

• Youngsters are making frequent visits to the website
• We have a fruitful year of whoZnext team activities behind us

• The low-threshold training (simulation game) is rated highly by coaches, supervisors and leaders and youngsters
• More and more European countries have shown interest. Let’s go Europe!
Future
• The overall theme for 2011 is to transfer knowledge to intermediaries, i.e.through expert meetings, train the trainer courses
• More support for teams by giving them tools for self-promotion
• Keep products at the ready
• whoZnext goes Europe (training keyplayers 2011)
