The project "Europe is More Than Football 2012" aimed to foster international friendship among children in Ukraine through sports during the 2012 European Football Championship. Activities included various sport events and games to engage local kids, with a focus on promoting a sense of European unity beyond football. The project involved international and local volunteers, reaching over 6000 children in Lviv. Children participated in basketball, volleyball, logic games, and football, as well as special activities like parachute games. The project facilitated cultural exchange, language learning, and physical training, making it a fun and educational experience for all involved. Partners included organizations from several European countries, supported by the European Commission's "Youth in Action" program. The project received help from the Lviv city government, schools, and various volunteers. The success of the initiative demonstrated the power of sport in bringing communities together and promoting cultural understanding.

The goals of the project Project „Europe is more than football 2012” was established during and after the European Football Championship 2012 in Ukraine in two hosting cities – Donetsk and Lviv. The main goals of the project were: bringing a spirit of international friendship to kids who had no contacts with international guests and any chances to get to the stadiums or fun-zones, but had been waiting for the sport event for several years. Together with international and local volunteers we had to create the spirit of international sport event for local kids and teenagers and learn a little bit more about Europe than only football.
