This transnational project is focused on the promotion of dual careers of athletes and the support of innovative educational approaches and good governance in sport, in relation to the objectives of the EU policies in the field of sport and in pursuit of the objectives from the EU Commission Guidelines on Dual Career of Athletes.
The aim of the project is to spread awareness and good practices among educational institutions that support athletes in their dual careers by determining the minimum quality standards of educational and training institutions at the EU level, and then establishing a certification system to recognise the efforts made by dual career-friendly institutions.
The legacy of the project will be to find the most effective way to improve athletes’ education through innovative educational approaches that can be implemented in Dual Career programmes in the EU framework and at the national level of the EU Member states.

Olympic Committee of Slovenia (SLO)
