24.11.2022
In the period 22-25 November 2022, an international meeting in the framework of the “Sport&NFE” initiative, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, was held in Cologne, Germany. During the event were discussed the developed so far educational content and implemented project activities, as well as the upcoming International conference Education through Sport, which will be held in Sofia in May 2023.
Sport and NFE is an initiative which seeks to identify and overcome obstacles and challenges related to sedentary lifestyle and declining interest in sport and physical activity, through educational approaches that use sport as an educational tool. Special attention in the project is paid to the development of knowledge, skills and capacity of coaches, physical education and sports teachers and other sports and educational professionals, as well as support for the implementation of European Guidelines for Dual Career in Sports. Joanna Dochevska and Ivelina Kirilova, PhD, took part in the meeting on behalf of the Bulgarian sports development association.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT:
• To create an empowered environment oriented towards physical education teachers / sports staff, which will enable them to understand the concept of non-formal education (NFE), making them more competent and confident in applying the methodology "Education through sport" (ETS);
• To create the necessary opportunity for the target groups to go through non-formal training, using sports as a training tool;
• To serve as a bridge between formal education, the non-governmental and sports sectors, contributing to the creation of long-term multi-level and cross-sectoral cooperation networks;
• To build the necessary qualities and skills in sports coaches, physical education and sports teachers and sports staff to become leaders in projects using NFO and BSF, as a complementary educational tool to stimulate participation in sports, education and physical activity;
• Encourage cooperation for knowledge exchange and capacity development in areas such as education, training and the sports sector between schools, sports clubs and NGOs.
The Sport&NFE project is co-funded under the Erasmus+ program of the European Union and involves sport related organizations from Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland and Portugal.
