🌍 Meet the YSEP Cohort | Laura Moravcikova

Meet Laura Moravcikova from Trondheim, Norway! 🇳🇴

As part of the Youth Sport Exchange Programme (YSEP), Laura is embarking on an exciting exchange with the Zimbabwe Volleyball Association in Harare, where she will combine her passion for sport with the opportunity to experience a new culture.
When asked about the weirdest thing she packed, Laura laughed and said it was probably creatine, protein powder and a whole collection of lifting gear, proof that fitness is always part of the journey! 💪😄

Laura applied for YSEP because she wanted to step outside her comfort zone, immerse herself in a different culture and see firsthand how sport can bring people together across diverse backgrounds. She also saw the exchange as a unique opportunity to gain new perspectives and grow both personally and as a coach.

During her time in Zimbabwe, Laura is looking forward to experiencing everyday life, getting to know the people and culture, and, of course, spending plenty of time on the volleyball court.

Welcome to the YSEP family, Laura! We wish you an unforgettable exchange filled with learning, connection and meaningful impact. 💙🏐🌍

GAME CHANGERS | Coach Enala Phiri

Some people build careers. Others build the future.

For nearly two decades, Coach Enala Phiri has been doing something many people never see. While the spotlight has often shone on players lifting trophies and celebrating victories, she has been behind the scenes helping shape the women who would one day represent Zambia with pride.

Her coaching journey began in 2006 when she took charge of Zambia's Under-17 Girls National Team. It was the beginning of a career dedicated not only to winning matches, but to developing players, nurturing talent and proving that women belong on the touchline as much as they do on the pitch.

Over the years, she has coached at both club and national level, guiding teams such as Indeni Roses, Lusaka Dynamos Ladies, NAPSA Stars Women and Konkola Blades Queens. She also made history as the only woman to coach Zambia's Under-23 Women's National Team, breaking barriers in a profession where female coaches remain underrepresented.

But Coach Enala's impact extends far beyond the ninety minutes on the pitch.

As a CAF A Licence coach and CAF Women Elite Instructor, she has helped strengthen coaching across the continent by contributing to the development of other coaches. Her influence is measured not only by the players she has mentored, but also by the coaches who continue to shape the future of women's football.

Those who know her often describe her as calm, disciplined and deeply committed to player development. Rather than seeking recognition, she has consistently allowed her work to speak for itself.

In a world where success is often measured by trophies alone, Coach Enala reminds us that the greatest legacy is the people you help grow.

Long before women's football in Zambia reached the global stage, there were coaches laying the foundation, believing in young girls, opening doors and creating opportunities.

Coach Enala Phiri is one of those builders.

💚 Thank you, Coach Enala Phiri, for helping shape the future of women's football in Zambia, one player, one coach and one generation at a time.

How do we know if our work is making a difference?

That's one of the important questions partners explored during the NIF Partners Meeting in Oslo, Norway.

Representing NOWSPAR, Executive Director Mofu Kandondo and Programme Manager Reuben Chimfwembe joined organisations from across Southern Africa in discussions on strengthening programme reporting, measuring outcomes and demonstrating the real impact of sport for development initiatives.

The conversations reminded us that good reporting is about more than documenting activities. It is about understanding what has changed in the lives of children, young people and communities, and using that learning to strengthen future programmes.

Together with partners including Response Network, Sport in Action, the Judo Association of Zambia, Judo Zimbabwe, Judo Malawi, the African Union Sports Council Region 5, the National Olympic Committee of Zambia, the National Olympic Committee of Malawi and the National Olympic Committee of Zimbabwe, participants shared experiences, challenged ideas and explored practical ways to strengthen the impact of sport across the region.

We are grateful to the idrettsforbund Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports (NIF) for convening this important platform for learning, collaboration and partnership.

Because the best programmes don't just count activities, they understand the difference those activities make.

💚 PLAYFUL CHILDHOOD STORIES

Children learn best when they are engaged, encouraged and having fun.

That's why the Playful Childhood Project uses sport and play as more than recreation. Every activity becomes an opportunity for children to learn about their rights, understand the importance of protection, recognise child labour and build the confidence to participate and speak up.

Learning through play creates an environment where children ask questions, work together and discover that every child has value, a voice and rights that deserve to be respected.

In this week's story, facilitator Elizabeth Gondwe shares how the Playful Childhood Project is helping children learn, grow and enjoy being active, all while creating a space where no child is left behind.

Because when children play, they are also learning skills that help them navigate life with confidence.

The Playful Childhood Project is implemented by NOWSPAR with support from Kindernothilfe.

Sometimes, the most important lessons aren't taught in a classroom.

They're learned while playing, working together, solving challenges and building friendships.

Through the Playful Childhood Project, sport and play create safe spaces where children can learn about their rights, develop life skills and grow in confidence—all while doing what every child deserves to do: play.

Because play isn't just recreation.

It's a pathway to learning, participation and a brighter future.

🌍 Meet the YSEP Cohort | Taonga Mwape

Meet Taonga Mwape from Zambia! 🇿🇲

As part of the Youth Sport Exchange Programme (YSEP), Taonga is embarking on an exciting exchange with the Zimbabwe Volleyball Association, where she will gain new experiences, share knowledge and grow through the power of sport.

Taonga applied for YSEP because she believes it creates meaningful opportunities for young people to gain work experience, develop valuable skills and learn from different cultures and beliefs while sharing their own.

Looking ahead, she is excited about the opportunities for personal growth, building a global network and creating life-changing experiences abroad.

We wish Taonga all the best as she begins this incredible journey and look forward to seeing the impact he will make in Zimbabwe. Safe stay and enjoy every moment! 💙🌍

GAME CHANGERS | Elizabeth Mukoloma

Champions don't always train in world-class stadiums. Sometimes, they lace up their running shoes after a long day at work and quietly chase a dream that refuses to let go.

For many people in Solwezi, Elizabeth Mukoloma is known as a hardworking woman balancing family, business and everyday life. But beyond the marketplace is another side of Elizabeth, one that has carried Zambia's colours across marathon finish lines and inspired a new generation of long-distance runners.

Her love for athletics began while she was still in school, where she quickly discovered a natural talent for distance running. Like many young women, however, life demanded that she put survival first. Work and family responsibilities took centre stage, and for a time, competitive running became a distant memory.

Yet some dreams never disappear.

Elizabeth returned to the sport she loved with renewed determination. Through discipline, consistency and countless kilometres on the road, she steadily established herself among Zambia's top female marathon runners, proving that time away from sport does not have to mean the end of a dream.

Her performances have earned national recognition and opportunities to compete beyond Zambia's borders, demonstrating that world-class talent can emerge from every corner of the country.

What makes Elizabeth's journey even more inspiring is that she hasn't kept her experience to herself. She continues to encourage and mentor young athletes in her community, helping them believe that their own dreams are worth pursuing.

Elizabeth Mukoloma reminds us that greatness doesn't always arrive with loud headlines. Sometimes it is built quietly, one early morning run, one difficult decision and one determined step at a time.

Her story is a reminder that resilience is not about where you begin. It is about refusing to stop moving forward.

💚 Thank you, Elizabeth Mukoloma, for showing that determination, perseverance and humility can inspire a nation.
