Expression of Interest Handbook EXPRESSION OF INTEREST HANDBOOK Street Child Football World Cup Doha 2022 ‘’I am somebody’’ © Street Child United 2017 | UK registered charity | Charity No. 1144951 Welcome John Wroe – BEM, CEO – Street Child United Welcome to a world where you will be inspired by the young people you serve and where they will be inspired by street connected children from across the globe. Artem from Kharkiv Ukraine said at the first 2010 Street Child World Cup Congress: “It was not until this World Cup that I realised that there were street kids in other countries. Up until now I have been blaming myself for being on the streets, now I know diferent”. To a journey where you will be renewed in your body and spirit and be reminded why you work in this area and why your specific contribution to changing this unfair world to be kinder to street children is so vital. Like Artem, you will realise that you are not alone. Particpant at the first street child summit Cambridge 2012: “We rarely get invited to the top table, now we street child NGO leaders, have our own table.” Qatar 2022 will be our 6th major global sporting and human rights event for street children and India 2023 will be our 7th. As a small clearly focused and dynamic organistion we have learned so much in the past 10 years – we’ve grown smarter, stronger and our sphere of influence has widened considerably. At the heart of what we do is serving street-connected young people and making sure their demands for lasting change on birth registration, access to education and protection from violence are heard and then realised. Crucial to our success is identifying the best NGO’s working with street children and then aligning our activities and effort to best support them. After the Street Child World Cup Moscow 2018, seven of our returning teams met their presidents or prime ministers. The captain of Team Nepal summed it all up in once sentence: “The hands that were raised yesterday to beat us on the streets are now raised to honour us” . It is and will be a privilege for all that are conspiring with us to deliver the best ever Street Child Football World Cup in Qatar and the best Cricket World Cup yet in India, if the outcome of the hard work is lasting change for street-connected young people across the world.

  • Can Housing First Work for Youth? Stephen Gaetz
    Part C _ Think Pieces 159 Can Housing First Work for Youth? Stephen Gaetz Faculty of Education, York University, Toronto, Canada Canadian Observatory on Homelessness >> Abstract_ Housing First has emerged as an effective and humane approach to addressing homelessness. In spite of the strength of the evidence, questions remain regarding the applicability of Housing First to sub-populations, including youth. The proposed framework for Housing First for Youth outlined here is intended to provide a starting point for communities, policy-makers and practitioners interested in applying the model to adolescents and young adults, recognising that different national and local contexts present both unique challenges but also opportunities. Housing First does not promise or pretend to be the only approach to addressing youth homelessness. However, it can and should become an important intervention that supports, and in turn is supported by, other preventive and early intervention strategies, short term emergency supports, and so on. >> Keywords_ Housing First, youth, key principles Introduction Housing First has emerged as an effective and humane approach to addressing homelessness. Internationally, there has been debate over its potential for adapta- tion and application in different national contexts based on the recognition that social and housing policy varies widely between countries and on concerns about how the concept has been interpreted and implemented. The case for Housing First has been bolstered, however, by a large volume of research that attests to its efficacy, including the highly successful At Home/Chez Soi project from Canada. The breadth and rigour of this research makes Housing First one of the few home- lessness interventions that can be truly deemed a ‘best practice’.

  • Street Children in the Developing World: a Review of Their Condition
    Street Children in the Developing World: A Review of Their Condition Lewis Aptekar San Jose State University The article reviews the literature on street children and points out why there are street children in certain cultures and not in others. The reasons for their existence are related to poverty, abuse, and modernizing factors. Street children are defined and distinguished from working and refugee children. Details about the family structure of street children are given. How the children cope and their level of psychological functioning are discussed. The article gives reasons for why the children are treated with such violence and gives attention to methodological research problems that include the children's ability to distort information, the researcher's proclivity to under- or overestimate the children's emotional condition, distortions of facts created by the press and international organizations, and general cross-cultural research issues. For the last decade, I have been studying children. I view them as both needy and bold, and I have seen them in streets that have increasingly become both theatre and war zone. Observing the children and how people have reacted to them not only has forced me to think about growing up without the security of parental love but has made me contemplate the potential rewards of life without parental restraint. My ambivalent thoughts and feelings are to some extent similar to the way the children are treated by the public. Some people see the children as being worthy of the valor given to heroic survivors, while others afford them the pity due the neglected and abused.

Every street child has a reason for being on the streets. While some children are lured by the promise of excitement and freedom, the majority are pushed onto the street by desperation and a realisation that they have nowhere else to go. In many countries, street children are named after their main survival activities. For example, vendors (Dakar, Lusaka and Manila), street gangs (Stuttgart), juvenile prostitutes (Stuttgart, Manila). What is obvious is that street children are poverty-stricken and their needs and problems are a result of wanting to meet basic needs for survival.

Is a House Always a Home?: A Survey of Homelessness Laws By: Marlei English1 March 6, 2020 Homelessness is a plague that spares no country, yet not a single country has cured it. The type of legislation regarding homelessness in a country seems to correlate with the severity of its homelessness problem. The highly-variative approaches taken by each country when passing their legislation can be roughly divided into two categories: aid-based laws and criminalization laws. Analyzing how these homelessness laws affect the homeless community in each country can be an important step in understanding what can truly lead to finding the “cure” for homelessness rather than just applying temporary fixes. I. Introduction to the Homelessness Problem Homelessness is not a new issue, but it is a current, and pressing issue.2 In fact, it is estimated that at least 150 million individuals are homeless.3 That is about two percent of the population on Earth.4 Furthermore, an even larger 1.6 billion individuals may be living without adequate housing.5 While these statistics are startling, the actual number of individuals living without a home could be even larger because these are just the reported and observable numbers.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 I V|£:S H S f <§195 I O I S S 4 -7 ABSTRACT The thesis argues that homelessness is complex and synergical in nature. It discusses the life events and processes that often trigger, protect against and predict the likelihood of someone becoming homeless (and/or roofless). It argues, that people’s routes into homelessness are complex, multiple and interlinked and are the result of biographical, structural and behavioural factors. This complexity increases with the age of the individual and the duration of their rooflessness. The thesis explores the homeless culture as a counter-culture created through people being pushed out of mainstream society. It argues, that what happened to people in the past, created the nature of the homeless culture. Furthermore it is argued that any serious attempt at resettling long-term rough sleepers needs to consider what it is that the homeless culture offers and whether or how this can be replicated within housed society.

  • HOMELESSNESS and the WORLD CUP by Joshua Andrew Ladd A
    HOMELESSNESS AND THE WORLD CUP By Joshua Andrew Ladd A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Urban and Regional Planning- Master in Urban and Regional Planning 2015 ABSTRACT HOMELESSNESS AND THE WORLD CUP By Joshua Andrew Ladd Homelessness and the World Cup is a thesis about how the planning of the 2014 World Cup soccer tournament affected the lives of the homeless in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is an ethnographic study that looks into the presence, use, and destruction of informal settlements near the Maracanã stadium. Maracanã was the sight of some of the matches in the 2014 World Cup soccer tournament. The study relied on observational data regarding before and after uses of informal settlements as well as the phenomenological approach to ethnography. That approach to ethnography aims to understand the subject’s experience of their day-to-day lives. The thesis argues that the policies of mega event planning often directly contradict the needs of homeless individuals exercising their rights to inhabit public places.

This focus centred on the system, rate and availability of general social support, as well as social housing and housing subsidies in partner countries as these differ greatly from those existing in older EU member states, creating unique challenges for both homeless people and support workers trying to help their clients find ways out of homelessness.

  • Brazil Girls' Team from Penha Are 2014 Street Child World Cup Champions
    Brazil Girls’ Team from Penha Are 2014 Street Child World Cup Champions Less than a week after being named Champions of the 2014 Street Child World Cup in Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian Girls Team returned to practice. The girls range from age 12 to 18 and come from Complexo da Penha and Vila Cruzeiro in Rio de Janeiro’s North Zone. They are all a part of the Favela Street organization which through soccer motivates and encourages girls who need structure, a safe environment and appreciation, to make and reach their life goals. After participating in the 10-day Street Child World Cup, the girls returned with energy, new friendships from around the world, and confidence to proudly say ‘I Am Somebody.’ The Street Child World Cup was hosted in Rio de Janeiro from March 28 to April 7 and brought together over 230 boys and girls from 19 different countries in a football tournament, festival arts and participatory conference on children’s rights. The event brings international attention to the global issue of youth homelessness and poverty. Each country’s team was not selected solely for foot skills on the field, but rather the players or ‘Street Champions’ were selected because they are inspiring examples of change from local organizations in each country working to fight child homelessness and street labor. The term street child in a broader definition refers to children who are connected to the streets, whether by living or working on the streets in their respective countries. Both a girls and boys team represented Brazil in the tournament; the Girls Team from Favela Street in Penha, Rio de Janeiro and the Boys Team from the O Pequeno Nazareno NGO in Fortaleza.
