MY FRIND FROM GHANA - an extraordinary young man
Dear Mioara,
I am writing to you as a fellow 1GOAL supporter, to share my story. My name is Stephen Odai and I am 18 years old from Accra in Ghana. I just finished my basic school and now I play football. Two weeks ago I was signed by one of the big clubs in Ghana, Liberty Professionals.
I have six brothers and sisters and I am the first born, so they are all depending on me. I was not in school because of lack of finance, but one day my headmaster called me and said ‘Stephen if you want to play football you have to further your education.’
It was hard because I didn't have money for the fees. All the money went to buy food for my family.
The only way out for me was to go to the road side and sell items so that I can raise money for my admission fees. I did that for some months and I was able to raise the money for my admission fee, and to support my family.
Without education attached to my football I cannot make it in life. I raise the money, but many of my friends cannot pay the admission fee and do not go to school.
I realise it is not enough to make sure I can go to school. I want to help everyone have the same chance to go to school.
Leaders from all over the world are coming to South Africa the day of the final match to talk about education. I have sent them my message, so if you join me and send your message, I hope they will listen to all of us.
I would like to show you a video that tells my story. And then I ask you to send your own message to world leaders about the importance of education:
http://www.join1goal.org/
One day I met 1GOAL people in Ghana and I explained everything that I am going through about how I manage to pay my own school fees and my family as well. 1GOAL connect football and education like me, and they asked me to come to South Africa to share my story.
I met the Ghana team and my hero Richard Kingson presented me with a ticket to watch the match against Uruguay in Soccer City. It was amazing and I am not going to forget the experience in my life.
I hope that one day I play at Chelsea and play for my national team the Black Stars as well. I’m training hard and practising hard to get there because there is a saying that the sky is the limit, and I will never give up even though things are difficult.
I hope this dream comes true for all children. So I would like to use this opportunity to urge parents, our leaders and all people to support 1GOAL for the 72 million children who don’t have the chance to go to school.
Sincerely,
Stephen Odai on behalf of 1GOAL

2010 WORLD CUP - 1 GOAL FOR EDUCATION
Dear friends,
There’s one goal at this World Cup that has millions of fans around the world talking: using this unique opportunity to guarantee education for every single child. And what do we need to achieve that goal? That’s where you come in.
Your support couldn’t come at a better time: now the South African President has invited world leaders to a summit at end of the World Cup to discuss the plan to deliver education for all. This is the perfect opportunity, as the campaign for the World Cup ends, to focus on the campaign for universal education.
If countries’ governments don’t believe there is a global demand for action on education, they won’t agree to fix the problem. Issue your own Yellow Card calling on world leaders to guarantee education for every child, and we’ll deliver it directly to them before the Final.
World leaders need to agree on a plan to provide education, and to do that they’ll need to hear from all of us united in our demand to make education the lasting legacy of this World Cup. That’s where your Yellow Card could make the difference:
http://act.join1goal.org/ea-campaign/clientcampaign.do?ea.client.id=821&ea.campaign.id=6814
www.join1goal.org/r/yellowcard
Our nine million supporters are drawn from cities, towns, and villages in over 120 countries, and have shown their support in an incredible range of ways. Teachers, students, local education activists, football fans and celebrities have all rallied, and whether they’re doing it using email, mobile phone, social networks or attending the World’s Biggest Lesson, we are becoming a global voice too large for world leaders to ignore.
In villages throughout Bangladesh, thousands of children have taken part in football matches in support of 1GOAL, joining 194,047 fellow Bangladeshis who have sent SMS messages to join the call for education for all.
In Senegal, the Senegalese President invited hundreds of 1GOAL supporters to the Presidential Palace where he made a public commitment to the 1GOAL campaign and its aim of making sure every child receives an education.
While in the United States, 1GOAL received national attention when the Good Morning America TV program visited a South African school in Soweto with the 1GOAL team.
You can be part of this global movement building momentum towards a world where every child is guaranteed an education, by sending your own Yellow Card to world leaders before the World Cup Final:
www.join1goal.org/r/yellowcard
This opportunity is too good to miss – global attention will be on Africa, and world leaders will be pressed on the issue of education. Help us reach 10 million supporters by filling out your Yellow Card today.
Thanks for making a difference,
The 1GOAL team

CHANGING EUROPE, CHANGING EDUCATION
Past has become present and there is no doubt that digital technology is becoming dominant. This tendency may seem disturbing to some educators and parents. Will education be undertaken by computers? What kind of education do we need?
A study visit took place between 16th May and 21st May 2010, in Sofia Bulgaria Austria the Czech Republic Germany Poland Portugal Romania Spain Turkey the United Kingdom
The discussions will continue and other meetings will take place until a conclusion will be drawn. In their preliminary findings the participants agreed upon the following ideas:
1. Nobody can demonstrate that a good teacher is way better than technology. But teachers will remain the key actors. It’s only real people who can show the learners their way to success, thru interacting and learning from each other.
2. The teacher-centric process is changing into a learning-centric process.The transition from generalized education to individualization is also a part of the ideal learning scenario.
3. Nevertheless, we cannot deny the benefits advances in digital technology could bring to education. The challenge for everybody involved in education is to find the best approach to help the students distinguish the true and the good in the virtual world. Technology becomes an asset only if used properly. Otherwise, it will be an obstacle.
4. Spoonfeeding the learners must stop. Students will be rewarded for innovativeness, communication and entrepreneurial abilities instead of academic and memorizing skills. Teachers will most certainly act as e-learning coaches, as well.
5. Online environments can help learners work together, share and generate discussion. E-collaboration does not always end up in learning much, but the feeling of working with real peers is a great stimulus. Supporters of classroom learning environment have to admit that an authentic but "dull" learning environment world does little to encourage or motivate learners.
Whether we educate children and young learners for today’s world or looking ahead to tomorrow, the GOAL remains the same: to educate, train and support the students’ professional development. The vital student-teacher connection should not be lost.
