Soft / employability skill development through sport-plus coaching
MAY 30th, 2024
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM
VRIJE UNIVERSITEIT BRUSSEL (VUB)
The conference marks the end of the two-year collaborative partnership ‘COACH+’, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the EU, which has produced an open online course (MOOC) on youth work oriented sport-plus coaching. The aim of this MOOC is to help optimise the understanding of how sport-plus can be used effectively to develop soft / employability skills for young NEETs.
Apart from an introduction to the COACH+ project and the MOOC, the conference (including plenary and interactive sessions) will focus on the potential and challenges to use sport-plus coaching for soft / employability skills development for young NEETs.
The plenary sessions of the conference can be followed online.
The conference is aimed at representatives from:
‘sport-for-employability’ / ‘sport-for-development’ organisations
youth work
education
employment sector
research
policy (local, national, European)
Participation is free, but registration is required via the registration form on our project website (www.sport4employability.eu > deadline: May 23rd, 2024). To join the plenary parts of the conference online, a weblink will be sent in advance. Please note that all sessions will be provided in English.
