#EmpowerSport – sport experts development programme
28.07.2023
Erasmus+ offers the opportunity to adult education providers and other organisations active in the field of adult education to organise learning mobility activities for adult learners and education staff. For staff, activities such as job shadowing, courses, and teaching or training assignments can be organised in another organisation abroad. For adult learners, the organisation can organise learning periods abroad for individuals or for groups. In addition, the applicant organisation can host teachers in training and invite experts from abroad.
Bulgarian Sports Development Association will implement series of group mobilities for individuals – sport experts, which will be involved in theoretical and practical short-time mobilities in Germany and Italy. #EmpowerSport is a sport experts development programme, which will be active until 2027, providing opportunities for individuals to experience learning in different country in terms of acquiring new theoretical and practical skills.
