Our Sports Management Summer School in Almaty (Kazakhstan) has come to an end and it was a great success. This fantastic event was only made possible by the commitment and support of many people and organisations from Germany and Kazakhstan. We would like to thank them very much! 💐🙏
First of all, we would like to thank the DAAD and the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (Germany) for their financial support. Furthermore, we are especially grateful to the lecturers of the Summer School: Frank Daumann, Norbert Schütte, Prof. Dr Markus Breuer & Benedikt Römmelt. We would also like to thank Asel Uvalieva (Al-Farabi University, Vice-Rector) and Claudia Hillinger (Head of the International Office, Uni Jena) for coordinating the summer school at the level of the rector's office of the two university organisers. 🇩🇪🇰🇿
The two organisational teams in Kazakhstan and Germany did a fantastic job. From Al-Farabi University it is Madina Adilzhanova (Deputy Head of the Department of Physical Education & Sport) with her team (Ilya Krugovykh, Darhan Zhumashev, Demezhan Saidagali, Toktar Gusmanov, Perizat Tynyshbek). From the side of the University of Jena, they are Darja Kuzmenko, Lev Esipovich, Natalia Schauseil & Anne Dießel.
In addition, we would like to thank numerous partners in Kazakhstan who supported us during the excursion programme: Evgeny Krasikov (Technical Director of FC Kairat), Christina Liebricht (Chairwoman of the German Youth Union, Almaty), KENWOOD Cooking School (Almaty), Nemetski Theater Kasachstan, Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (German General Newspaper for Kazakhstan), Judith Hamburg-Madani (DAAD Lektor, Almaty) and many others. A special thanks goes to the Deutscher Fußball-Bund DFB for donating the jerseys of the national team. 🙌
Finally, we would like to thank all participants of the Summer School. Through your active engagement, versatile interactions and great cordiality, this school will remain unforgettable. ✨
The most famous German manager Sepp Herberger said: "Before the game is after the game!" Where are we going to meet next time 🤔? That remains our secret! We wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon! 👋
