European Sport Leadership Programme (ESLP) Toolkit

Abstract

The primary objective of the European Sport Leadership Programme (ESLP) was to improve good governance in university sport, through the training of carefully selected students to promote and increase physical activity among the university population. As part of this, the aims were to promote voluntary activity in sport, and to provide quality training to improve leadership in sport. It is important to highlight the innovative aspects of the proposal, which is designed to meet a number of needs present in European universities. ESLP is a pioneering project in the governance of university sport at a European level and takes into account various areas of university sport strategy, from participation or recreation to the elite. This proposal also implements an innovative sports leadership programme with the dual objective of increasing opportunities for students to be active, while allowing them to gain valuable opportunities to help improve their overall employability as future graduates. The programme was designed through a collective needs analysis and has been jointly created by all the universities involved, with active participation from the intended target groups. The innovative nature of the project is also evident from the measures implemented for its development, which will be reported more extensively throughout this handbook. ; This toolkit is the result of the European project 'European Sport Leadership Programme' (590801-EPP-1-2017-1-ES-SPO-SCP).
