Description of the Competition

Poland for all - football & arts bringing communities together

The ‘Poland for all' event took place in Warsaw on October 14, 2011!
Football Against Racism

The ‘NEVER AGAIN’ Association co-organized the high-profile ‘Poland for All’ event together with the Polish Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Sports and Tourism, the City of Warsaw and the Polish Association of Former Players. It took place at the Warsaw Agrykola stadium on 14 October. The event formed a part of the Football Against Racism in Europe Action Weeks.

One of the event’s attractions was a match involving players of Warsaw’s multicultural Ethnoleague and Polish football stars, including legends such as the former internationals Dariusz Dziekanowski, Radoslaw Majdan and Roman Kosecki.

Celebrating diversity
It was followed by a tournament with the participation of children of various national and ethnic backgrounds living in Warsaw, including, among others, Brazilian, French and Russian children. Kids from Warsaw schools painted anti-racist murals, a group of official guests removed racist symbols in the vicinity of the stadium and participated in the creation of an anti-racist street art project by the renowned artist Dariusz Paczkowski, a longtime supporter of the ‘NEVER AGAIN’ Association.

The participants of the event included the Polish government plenipotentiary for equal treatment, Minister Elzbieta Radziszewska, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Jerzy Pomianowski, South African Ambassador in Warsaw Lehlohonolo Shadrack Ted Pekane as well as newly elected members of the Polish Parliament – the former football player Cezary Kucharski and the Zambian-born economist Killion Munyama.
