Here in Austria I have contact to an antiracist football fanclub - they are also producing radio and TV shows at local community media. I would rather travel somewhere, were I could cover a topic that is not related to football, but to other, less popular sports. Another option would be to report something related to minorities in winter sports in other countries.

Neues Deutschland Druck und Verlag GmbH
Journalist
Berlin (Germany)

Currently I am an apprentice at "neues deutschland" a german daily newspaper. I worked for a german listing magazine based in Berlin and a local british magazine before. I'd like to participate in the MARS Programme because Europe for me is more than just the monetary union we are trying to keep up right now. Europe connects people and sport is the most unconditional way to exchange ideas and views. I played football myself when I was little. As a girl that was not the most sufficient sports to choose but as we had a tournament in Sweden I discovered that there are more girls all over the world, facing the same poblems. It was just about football not about who you are...

I'd like to write about women's football in one of the member states of the European Union. I prefer countries in which women's football is not as common as it is in Germany, my focus is basically on Eastern Europe. I'd like to write a series of portraits about women playing football and what it means to them, with which problems they have to cope, how supportive their families are, to give just a few examples. As I am also a semi professional photographer I'd like to shoot a series of pictures as well, goingt to be published at the newspaper I am working for or my personal blog.

J'aimerai réfléchir à la création d'un échange entre 2 groupes de jeunes de 2 pays différents. En rencontrant une structure d'éducation aux médias et un média dans un autre pays européen, nous pourrions réfléchir ensemble à un programme qui permettrai de faire se rencontrer nos jeunes via des productions médiatiques au départ, et pourquoi pas ensuite de les faire se rencontrer dans leurs pays respectifs. Pour cela, nous travaillerions à une mise en commun d'outils pédagogiques.
