DG EDUCATION, YOUTH, SPORT AND CULTURE Erasmus+ Programme for education, training, youth and sport Conference “Sport, education, university: joining efforts for athletes´ dual career and active societies” under the Estonian Presidency to the Council of EU 21.-22.09.2017 Celebration of the International Day of University Sports (IDUS) (20.09.2017) workshop „Building a world class dual career system, and who benefits”(21.09.2017) Grant EAC-2017-0377 ANNEX IV : TECHNICAL REPORT Rationale and background Estonian Presidency of the Council of EU concentrated on dual career of athletes and physical activity by focusing on education and university context. According to the article 165 of the Lisbon Treaty “The Union shall contribute to the promotion of European sporting issues, while taking account of the specific nature of sport, its structures based on voluntary activity and its social and educational function”. Dual career is an important topic because many sportsmen cancel in the critical age they need to go to university or work. The Presidency conference and related events helped to bring this issue to public discussion on how to create a system in these countries that have not developed it yet. The project included 3 linked events that was organised back to back with each other and with the official Opening of the 3rd European Week of Sport in Tartu, Estonia on 23 September, 2017. Based on key topics and tasks of the 3rd EU Work Plan of sport, the aim of the European Week of Sport, as well as the specific ity of the host of the official opening event - the city Tartu as the university city and capital of education of Estonia - , the 3 main themes of the events were: athletes´ dual career, physical activity and education and university. The events were carefully planned to unite themes to the integral whole. 1) Conference “Sport, education, university: joining efforts for athletes´ dual career and active societies” (21.-22.9.2017) focused on how sports organisations and educational institutions can work together as one support system for athletes. The second focus was on sports and physical activity, the cost of physical inactivity to society and what can be done to promote physical activity with the help of universities and sports. 2) Workshop „Building a world class dual career system, and who benefits” (21.09.2017, limited participation) shared experiences in the field. 3) Celebration of the International Day of University Sport (IDUS) (20.09.2017) On Sept 20th 2017 the 2nd International Day of University Sports, proclaimed by UNESCO, was celebrated. The aim was to promote physical activity among students. While the topics of the conference were closely linked to the dual-career and sport and physical activity in university context, celebration of IDUS was a good possibility to make the events in Tartu even more visible to the citizens. Estonian Academic Sports Federation as a partner helped to organise several events during that day. The celebrations culminated with 300 students gathering in the Tartu Town Hall Square. Aims and objectives The International Sport Conference “Sport, education, university: joining efforts for athletes´ dual career and active societies” aimed to address and discuss the various facts and experiences about dual career, active societies and physical activity. Also, as physical activity is a precondition for good health, active social participation, and a good quality of life, have a central role in the communication of sport experiences and the development of exercising habits among people of all ages and at different fitness levels, depending on their objectives. The impact of physical activity is also felt in healthcare. The main aim of the additional workshop „Building a world class dual career system, and who benefits” which was organised back to back with the conference, was to introduce how to build up a working dual career system, the required financial and legal necessities to enable its success and past experiences. Key stakeholders were invited to discuss on how cooperation amongst sports organisations and education institutions can create a combined supportive structure for the athletes. Also the role of the central and the local government was examined to identify the current issues with the support of the public sector. In addition, there was a discussion about developing the system of support personnel to ensure the development of an athlete. The aim was to also highlight the possibility of dual career specificly in the age group of 16-25, the training of the coaches, universities and sports leaders in this matter to see dual career system as a possibility in the wider sphere. Detailed description Workshop „Building a world class dual career system, and who benefits” (21.9.2017) and the International Sport Conference “Sport, education, university: joining efforts for athletes´ dual career and active societies” (21.- 22.9.2017) were part of informal meetings within the Estonian Presidency in the Council of EU.

EU member states under the leading Estonian Presidency continued to use different working structures and methods, in order to implement the EU Work Plan for Sport 2017 – 2020 and to foster the European dimension of sport. The project aimed to contribute to the promotion of dual career of athletes and physical activity. Both themes have been among the priorities of EU Work Plan for Sport. Estonian Presidency wishes to offer added value by focusing on education and university context. In the area of physical activity, while in the field of sport in EU lots of emphasis has been put to school age, student age has not got sufficient attention. While in elementary and secondary schools physical education is a part of curriculum, in universities it may not be the case anymore. Delivering sport and physical activities depends on the possibilities of universities and students potentially loose contact with sport and regular physical activity during this period. The conference therefore focused on exploring the importance of sport and physical activity at universities and what could be done with the help of universities to increase the physical activity in society. As for the dual career of athletes, conference focused on creation of successful sport-education setting and cooperation between educational institutions and sport movement. Workshop on how to build up a world-call dual career system added value in sharing the best practice case how to build up and manage a national dual career system. The added value of the activities of the International Day of University Sport of the project was to link the university sport communities with the overall aims and activities of the European Week of Sport. The outcomes of the events hosted by the Presidency created a background information for future discussions in a different level of policy makers and stakeholders.
