“Sport
is a universal language that can bring people together, no
matter what their origin, backgrounds, religious beliefs or
economic status”
Kofi
Annan, UN Secretary-General, 2005 |
Our
goals and tasks are of a large-scale range and reflect the
needs of adolescents and society and the significance of
sport as a social phenomenon.
The specific goals of the tournament are:
The
development and stimulation of the children, juvenile and
youth
basketball
Provision of a chance of international manifestation of
young
basketball players
Strengthening the positions and improvement of the sports
mastership
Recruitment and stimulation of young talents
Exchange of experience between coaches and competitors
Upbringing in the principles of fair play
Becoming conscious of the “Sports without doping” idea
Abolishment of the sex and race discrimination on the
playground and beyond its limits
Building bridges between cultures and between religions
Popularisation of basketball among adolescents
Besides the above stated
specific goals, we strive for the achievement of some goals
of a wider range, as sport has such aims in the modern
society.
The sports and the physical
education of adolescents contribute to the children’s
learning of essential values and vital skills for their
further survival, such as self-confidence, leadership,
teamwork, communication skills, discipline, respect and fair
play under certain rules, etc.
The skills and values
acquired through sports are particularly important for the
girls, taking into consideration their more limited
capabilities compared to boys’ capabilities for social
interaction beyond home and family circle. By the means of
sports the girls have the chance to be leaders and develop
their confidence and self-respect.
In the modern
globalising world without
borders, the adolescents’ early
socialisation and habituation to communication with
communities of different nationality and religion are of
exclusive importance. And such international sports events
are favourable means for the
achievement of this goal.
The sport as a universal
language can be a powerful means for the maintenance of
peace, tolerance and understanding and this power can be
used to bring people closer beyond borders, cultures and
religions. |
