Discover Football information for application

Dear sportswomen and activists,
We from DISCOVER FOOTBALL have taken it upon ourselves to promote intercultural understanding and equality through international encounters in women‘s football. We are dedicated to equal rights, emancipation and women‘s rights using football as a targeted strategy for empowerment.
In November we will organize an expert panel on women's football in the MENA region and in July 2013 there will be an international women's football tournament. We are very interested in your experience and learn from your strategies.
We kindly invite you to participate in the first expert panel on women’s football and empowerment in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) organized by DISCOVER FOOTBALL. It will take place from 26th of November to 30th of November in Berlin, Germany. We will take care of your visa, travel costs can be supported, so everybody can apply.
On the one hand we are looking for women who deal with football in any way and who can give an account of their situation. For these women, the expert panel is aimed at improving the structures for their work and/or with their teams. Here, everybody is an interesting participant for us - from the player to the official, if she is interested in
improving the situation of women's football and looking for guidelines and suggestions for their work.
Thus, we are hoping to increase women's competency in promoting and empowering girls and women through football. In this we also rely on the expertise of women outside the realm of football to pass on their
strategies for improvement. We are looking for lectures or workshops on the topics of campaigning, fund raising, networking, advertising, and of course legal expertise.
If you are interested, you will find the application forms on our web page http://www.discoverfootball.de/events-2/expert-forum/?lang=en.
For further questions please don't hesitate to get in touch with us a j.koesters@discoverfootball.de
Thank you all!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Marlene and Johanna from DISCOVER FOOTBALL
