BT and Johan Cruyff Foundation Establish First Belgian Cruyff Court Jun 07, 2013 00:00 BST BT and Johan Cruyff Foundation establish first Belgian Cruyff Court BT and the Johan Cruyff Foundation, an international non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the mental and physical wellbeing of children and young people, today announce that the first Belgian Cruyff Court - providing a safe area for children to play - will open after the summer, in the city of Mechelen. Belgian broadband cable services provider Telenet also supports the initiative through its corporate sustainability programme. The official go- ahead will take place tomorrow during a neighbourhood party in the district Otterbeek, where the Cruyff Court will be build. The partnership with the Cruyff Foundation is aligned to BT’s Better Future strategy and focuses on the Foundation’s Community Programme 1, which aims to empower young people to organise their own local sports events and increase the involvement with the neighbourhood. BT and the Cruyff Foundation announced their joint ambition to open the first Cruyff Court in Belgium at the start of their partnership in 2011. Thanks to employee and partner fundraising activities, which attracted donations of more than €40.000, this ambition will now become reality. Carole Thate, director Johan Cruyff Foundation, said: “Not many organisations are as dedicated as BT. Over the past two years, they have been truly inspirational through their various fundraising activities and involvement. This now enables us to open yet another Cruyff Court - close to home and the first one in Belgium - which provides children with a safe area to play in their neighbourhood.” Edwin Hageman, CEO BT Benelux, continued: “Our commitment to being a responsible and sustainable business is underlined by our Better Future strategy; promising to use the power of communication to improve lives, ways of doing business and to make our overall impact on society a positive one. Thanks to our employees, we are able to officially announce the first Cruyff Court for Belgium, which will make a real, tangible difference to many children’s lives.” Greet Geypen, Alderman of Youth in Mechelen, commented: “The construction of the court is part of a wider renovation taking place in the Otterbeek district. A Cruyff Court is more than just a place where children can play and participate in sports activities. It provides our city with the opportunity to address themes such as social responsibility, integration, and the importance of certain values in life.” Walter Schroons, Alderman of Sports in Mechelen, continued: “We are honoured and excited that we will host the first Cruyff Court in Belgium, following many countries elsewhere in the world.” BT’s involvement with the Foundation goes beyond fundraising. More than a hundred employees have already supported Cruyff Foundation events, including the annual Wheelchair Sports Day and the Open Day in the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam where thousands of children, with and without disabilities, can participate in more than thirty different sports activities. To further support the Foundation’s Community Programme, BT Learning Solutions has built a virtual learning environment called eCorner, providing internet access to an e-learning programme, a Coach Corner, and other resources. Youngsters, coaches and community workers are able to share and learn safely and cost effectively. Since the launch of the platform in 2011, 79 coaches and 434 youngsters have been trained. BT also provides Cruyff Foundation employees with access to some of its telepresence facilities to easily collaborate with partners and government officials, whilst saving time, money and reducing the organisation’s environmental footprint. There are already 177 ‘Cruyff Courts’ worldwide, many of which are located in the Netherlands. Of the 177 Cruyff Courts, 15 courts are located outside the Netherlands, such as in England, Spain, South Africa, Japan, Israel and Brazil. - ENDS - 1 Formerly known as the ‘Participate, Learn, Win’ programme. About the Johan Cruyff Foundation The Johan Cruyff Foundation was established in 1997, building on Johan Cruyff's vision of “the fundamental right of children to sport and play”. By promoting sports and play, the Cruyff Foundation contributes to a better society in a positive and active way. The Johan Cruyff Foundation helps put young people in motion, and does so by supporting sport projects for youth with disabilities, constructing Cruyff Courts, organising unique sporting events for young people and teaching them how to organise sports activities. On a weekly basis more than 50,000 youngsters with a disability are given the opportunity to play sports through the projects supported by the Foundation. Currently, there are more than 175 Cruyff Courts (public playgrounds) built for children who are living in areas where there is a lack of space for sports and games.

    Educating the next generation of Leaders in Sport Management JOHAN CRUYFF INSTITUTE Academic Proposal “who better to serve the best interests of sport than someone who has the heart of an athlete?” JOHAN CRUYFF Founder 1 THE WORLD OF JOHAN CRUYFF The World of Johan Cruyff includes the following global initiatives: Johan Cruyff Institute, Cruyff Football, Johan Cruyff Foundation, Cruyff Library and Cruyff Classics, created by Johan Cruyff on the basis of his integral vision of sport and the importance to professionalize the sports industry. 2 JOHAN CRUYFF INSTITUTE JOHAN CRUYFF INSTITUTE, JOHAN CRUYFF’S ACADEMIC LEGACY Sport, management and social work are three key words in the world of Johan Cruyff and basic pillars of his legacy. His own experience as a professional football player and later as a coach and advisor led Johan to devise a plan to help athletes to enter the working world at the end of their sports career and to promote the professionalization of management in the world of sport. And thus, Johan Cruyff Institute was born, the academic legacy of Johan Cruyff. Since its founding in 2002, Johan Cruyff Institute has educated athletes, sport managers and other professionals in Sport Management, Sport Marketing, Sponsorship, Football Business and Coaching. Its expansion has been unstoppable, and it currently offers 92 programs.

Spierings Als jij er niet bent zijn zij ook niks, samen zijn ze één (maakt hierbij gebaar met vuist naar zijn hart). Je bent daar gewoon voor het team (jongere, 16 jaar). Heel veel jongeren uit Hillesluis zien voor heel lange tijd hetzelfde en komen voortdurend met hetzelfde in aanraking (ambulant jongerenwerker, Stedelijk Team Jongerenwerk). Samenvatting Vrijwel maandelijks zijn er berichten te lezen in de (lokale) media over de (on)mogelijkheden die sport biedt. Dat sport wordt ingezet als middel om andere dan sportieve doelen te bereiken is inmiddels een bekend gegeven. Dit past in de maatschappelijke ontwikkeling waar verantwoordelijkheden steeds meer op het lokale niveau komen te liggen. Een ontwikkeling die de Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning met zich meebrengt. Deze wet beoogt dat burgers meer eigen initiatief nemen. Het is de bedoeling dat participatie en actief burgerschap tot stand komen. Rotterdam heeft dit opgenomen onder andere in de ‘Sportnota Rotterdam 2016’. Een verhoging van de sportparticipatie wordt hierin ten doel gesteld, waarmee samenwerking en verbindingen tussen de sport en het jeugdnetwerk kunnen ontstaan.

  • Haalbaarheidsonderzoek Cruyff Court Nabij Sporthal De Bhoele in Eerbeek Juni 2015
    Haalbaarheidsonderzoek Cruyff Court nabij Sporthal De Bhoele in Eerbeek Juni 2015 1. Inleiding Het project Cruyff Court in Eerbeek kent een lange voorgeschiedenis. Centraal staat een initiatief, afkomstig van Eerbeekse jongeren, die zich de afgelopen vier jaar sterk hebben gemaakt voor de komst van een Cruyff Court in Eerbeek. Een Cruyff Court kan worden beschouwd als een kwalitatief hoogwaardige sport- en spe(e)lvoorziening voor jong en oud. Er zit een doordachte filosofie en aanpak achter, waarbij sport en ontmoeting een centrale plek innemen. Voor meer achtergrond informatie over een Cruyff Court en de Johan Cruyff Foundation wordt verwezen naar de site van de Johan Cruyff Foundation: http://www.cruyff-foundation.org Begin 2015 is een advies van de Dorpsraad Eerbeek-Hall aan het college overhandigd, waarbij de wenselijkheid van een Cruyff Court door de Eerbeekse samenleving werd onderstreept en waarbij de locatie nabij Sporthal De Bhoele als meest reële optie naar voren werd gebracht1. Het college heeft inmiddels actueel jeugd- en jongerenbeleid opgesteld, waarbij ook het initiatief voor een Cruyff Court in Eerbeek is opgenomen. Op 29 januari 2015 is over het Jeugd- en jongerenbeleid door de gemeenteraad - in een opiniërende raadsvergadering - gesproken. Hierbij heeft de raad de wens herbevestigd om tot een Cruyff Court in Eerbeek te komen en - gezien het advies van de Dorpsraad - het college meegegeven, dat een haalbaarheidsonderzoek naar de mogelijkheid van plaatsing van het court nabij De Bhoele voor de hand ligt. In voorliggend document worden de resultaten gepresenteerd, die naar voren zijn gekomen in het kader van het verrichte haalbaarheidsonderzoek. Dit document is in samenwerking met onderstaande partijen tot stand gekomen, zijnde de partijen, die nadrukkelijk betrokken zijn bij het traject om te komen tot een Cruyff Court in Eerbeek: • Johan Cruyff Foundation; • Eerbeekse jongeren; • Jongerenwerker SWB; • Gemeente Brummen.
