Sport Development
Do you want to know more about how sport is organized on a local, national and international level? Do you want to be inspired by the power of sport and the impact sport makes on people all over the world? Do you consider setting up a sport development program or want to learn more about public sport policy? Than you should join the minor Sport Development!
The Minor Sport Development is a hands-on and practical minor for students who are willing to develop themselves as sport leaders in the world of sport.
The minor Sport Development covers the areas Development of Sport and Sport for Development, with a focus on the latter.
Development of Sport concerns the 'growing, improving and innovating sports for people, communities and society.'
Where Sport for Development relates to 'the intentional use of sport as a means to affect sustainable positive change in the lives of people, communities and society.'
During the minor students will learn about the differences between the two areas, how both fields are related and how both areas are connected to our day-to-day life. Inspiring organizations from over the world join our minor to give guest lectures and you will be challenged to help grow sport development organizations by working on real cases.
Besides the focus on Sport Development, during this minor, you will also be challenged to develop yourself as a person through several activities investigating your personal drivers, focusing on creating and sharing your own vision on Sport Development and you will learn how to take part in a constructive debate.
This minor will be in English. If you hesitate about whether you're English is good enough, please contact the coordinator of the minor.
