This manual targets young people aged between 12 to 19 years linking football and the classroom in an informal way within the realm of development education. The main goal of the manual is raising awareness and understanding among young people about four specific global issues, in addition to many other themes such as extreme poverty and hunger, gender inequity, HIV/AIDS and global partnership (Millennium Development Goals (MDG)1 1, 3, 6 and 8). The overall objective of the Football for Development project is to contribute to the way football can be used to help in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. This manual is the product of the project Football for Development, funded by the European Union, undertaken by four European partners and five African associate partners. The manual is the result of almost a year’s work from the conception, production of the draft electronic version and piloting the content in schools, youth centres, public viewings, fan zones during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and summer football youth camps. It was piloted and tested in three European countries. In preparing the manual, the opinions and contributions of experts such as teachers, development educationists, NGOs, youth workers, students and social workers as well as social entrepreneurs were sought and included in the pages\r\nthat follow. The teachers’ manual is produced in English, German, Italian, Hungarian and Czech. The manual is available either electronically on www.footballfordevelopment.net or you can write to a partner organisation of the Football for Development project for a printed version.
