SVENSKA CURLINGFÖRBUNDET Verksamhetsberättelse med årsredoVisning och budget för 2013-2014 lag niklas Edin vid guldfinalen i Victoria, kanada. foto: ©WCf Vår Verksamhetsidé För den sociala tävlingsmänniskan är curling lagsporten som utmanar, ger dig motion och hjärngymnastik tillsammans med andra, där din prestation alltid är betydelsefull. Vår verksamhetsidé pekar på komplexiteten i sporten; att den både är för de som vill tävla och vara sociala, att man får använda både hjärna och känsla, och framförallt att det är den unika kombinationen av individ och lagsport. Vi har den för att förtydliga vilka som passar för curling så vi får lättare att rekrytera nya curlare. Ett framgångsrikt exempel av vår verksamhetsidé är Det fungerade curlinglaget. Vår Värdegrund Svensk curling är en öppen och modern idrott som präglas av glädje, gemenskap, sportmannaskap och nyfikenhet. Vår värdegrund innebär att hjälpa varandra är en grundpelare i att utvecklas och ha kul inom curling. Eftersom vi vill att omvärlden ska tycka på ett visst sätt om oss måste vi uppträda så. Curlingen välkomnar alla oavsett ålder, kön, religion eller hudfärg. Ett framgångsrikt exempel av vår värdegrund är att man önskar varandra god Curling, berömmer bra stenar och visar aldrig att man blir glad om motståndaren missar. Samt att vi är våra egna domare. Vår Vision Svensk curling är världsbäst, ett föredöme i ledarskap och Sveriges mest efterfrågade idrott. Vår vision innebär att vi ska fortsätta vara världsledande i alla aspekter och att så många som möjligt ska vilja prova curling. Vi har den för att framgång föder framgång, och vi lever efter den i allt vi gör. -
