CCPA just signed a new 4-year contract with Sida in Moldova with the purpose to
a) facilitate dialogue and cooperation between Moldova and Transnistrija,
b) promote girls football and
c) introduce cross sectorial crime prevention (OFFS+SSP).

In this regard CCPA together with a delegation from OFFS Moldova and the community police payed a very interesting visit to the community police in Rosengaarden in Malmoe where we amongst others heard about community policing in Sweden and so-called "citizen promises".

This year 2016 Open Fun Football Schools implemented by the Football Federation of Ukraine gained new strength. FFU Social Projects “Open Fun Football Schools” and “Play Away, Play Everywhere” significantly expanded network of grassroots volunteers and in a single season covered 56 districts in each region of Ukraine.

Within the celebration of the " InternationalTeachers Day"- 05 Oct, Open Fun Football Schools Macedonia in the sports hall in Avtokomanda organized football tournament- sport event for 60 students from schools with special needs from 4 educational institutions where students attend classes.

“At that time in Bosnia, women’s football was almost non-existent. The men were always given the priority to play on the pitches that hadn’t been ruined during the war, and the last thing girls’ parents were thinking was to let their daughters go and play football.”

After streetfootballworld Festival16 the streetfootballworld team received this letter from Hassan Luaibi. We wanted to share with all of you the strong message Hassan was sending - strong, inspiring, and word-for-word from Hassan's heart.

Dear friends of SFW Lyon 16,

Our station - the Fun Football pitch was one of the most visited stations at the Festival in all towns.Festival was visited by several thousads of children.

In November 2015 Cross Cultures was invited to meet community officials of Novi Grad Sarajevo (the largest municipality in Bosnia Herzegovina).

So far only part of the former military barracks have been renovated and today host a centre for Martial Arts, a Centre for Old Crafts, children's play rooms, restaurants etc.
