The Youth Development through Football (YDF) project has published the ‘YDF Manual for Environmental Awareness'

The foundation module — the YDF Manual for Coaches — still constitutes the first introduction to the complex topic of environmental awareness, whereas the short module on ‘Environmental Awareness’ builds on the different forms of reaction that are possible and elaborates in detail on tips for taking action. YDF is convinced that every coach needs to build on general basic-training skills in order to implement the ‘YDF Manual for Environmental Awareness’ successfully and, as such, needs to be familiar with the content of the ‘YDF Manual for Coaches’.

Key aspects of the YDF Manual for Environmental Awareness include:

  • providing coaches with methods of contributing to and educating people about a healthy environment through individual practical activities and actions taken by the football team and communities;
  • equipping coaches with an understanding of environmental matters and the challenges our environment is facing today, with a special focus on climate change and global warming;
  • emphasising the relevance of biodiversity and the variety of life on earth that needs to be protected, with a closer look at the three elements of air, water and soil; and
  • learning strategies to address threats to the environment and how to draft a personal plan to support environmental awareness-raising among children and the youth, thereby contributing to a healthy environment.

In line with all the other YDF manuals, this manual is also equipped with case-study boxes and with training and lesson worksheets.
