European School Sport Day 2018 on Sport Campus of University of Muenster

Münster, 28. September 2018

Organized by the WGI and the Deptartment of EU-Studies of the Institute of Sport & Exercise Sciences and in collaboration with the Student Sport Office of the University of Münster (HSP) the European School Sport Day (ESSD) was organized for the 3rd time on Münster University Sport Campus. This year a complete primary school, the Marien School of Appelhülsen-Nottuln, participated with their eight school classes and more than 160 boys and girls aged 6 to 10 years old. All children were guided by game instructors of HSP, members of the EU-Studies group and their school class teachers, including the principal of Marienschule, Mrs. Wiedau-Gottwald. The regular classes were mixed into 12 teams, and each team e.g. the "Pumas", "Dinos" etc. played four different types of small-side traditional European games and modern trend games: two national European games - the Dutch Korfball game and the Italian game of Tamburello, added by the trend games of Kinball and the Harry Potter game of Quidditsch. Finally, all pupils received a diploma about their participation at the ESSD 2018 and wanted to come back next year, maybe in cooperation with their French partner school.
