Inter Campus back in Cameroon

Training courses for instructors; games, banana plantations and a first-ever trip to the beach for the kids

CAMEROON – Inter Campus recently made their second
trip of the year to Cameroon. Thirty children from the country’s
interior travelled to Limbe, on the coast, to take part in training activities together with another 30 local kids. A few days’ respite in the short wet season allowed our coaches Giacomini and
Guareschi, assisted by local coach Rotunno, to carry out two training
courses for the 30 English- and French-speaking local instructors who arrived from all over the
country.

The training programme paid particular attention to specific pedagological
aspects of sports education for children aged 6 to 8 years old. The
children – many of whom had the chance to see the sea for the first time – were involved in other educational activities too: games and
entertainment, as well as trips to the beach and a banana plantation.

The next scheduled event in Cameroon is the Kinder Joy Cup, which will take place in collaboration with IMSOFAR in Baham in August. Then, in January 2013, another training course
will be held in Nguanderé on the Adamawa
Plateau, a 16-hour train ride from the capital. Our plan is to work our way round each of the Inter Campus centres spread throughout the country in order to offer
training courses to all the local instructors and meet all the
children.
