School Sport Cooperation on European Level

From January 2016 to June 2018 the Erasmus+ project "Activity Square Europe" supported an information exchange between project coordinators of EU member states who are working in the field of school and sport sector cooperation. Fit Sport Austria had the lead of this project and 13 organisations from 9 different countries participated. One of the project's objectives was to build a benchmark tool for people who are working in this field. This benchmark tool is ready to fill out at this website.

You want to start a project in the field of school and sport sector cooperation or you're currently leading an existing one? Great! Then this benchmark tool allows you to asses your own programme or project against a set of defined indicators. Furthermore you have the opportunity to get advice from organisations which are already working in the field of school and sport sector cooperation. You ready? Let's start!

#1 RESPOND TO ACTUAL NEEDS!

A school- and sport sector cooperation program must respond to actual needs and expectations of both, the target group and all other relevant stakeholders.

#2 BE SMART!

Successful school- and sport sector cooperation has to be based on transparent, feasible and agreed objectives.

#3 USE THE NETWORKS!

Successful school- and sport sector cooperation can only be achieved if stakeholders from both sectors actively collaborate within an open, capable and effective network.

#4 CHECK OUT THE BENCHMARKS!

Successful school- and sport sector cooperation may rely on voluntary support from the sport sector, but also has to be backed by sufficient public or private funding.

#5 THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN RESOURCES!

Successful school- and sport sector cooperation requires transparent and reliable regulations, regarding human resource (e.g. minimum qualification of coaches and instructors involved) and systematic human resource development (e.g. education and training) within the sport sector.

#6 WE CANNOT NOT COMMUNICATE!

Due to the multitude of stakeholders involved, the vulnerability of the main target group (e.g. children/youth) and the non-uniform sector culture, successful school- and sport sector cooperation requires effective communication at all levels during all stages of the program’s life-cycle.
