ENSE Board Members Karen Petry & Johan de Jong published their latest book "Education in Sport and Physical Activity - Future Directions and Global Perspectives".

The book examines education in sport coaching, sport management, PE teacher training, physical activity and health promotion, and the emerging discipline of outdoor studies, considering how trends such as globalisation, digitalisation, and privatisation are having a profound impact on education programs. 

Designed to invite self-reflection, to provoke debate and to open up new cross-disciplinary and international perspectives within sports organisations and higher education institutions, the book is designed for advanced students as well as researchers, teachers, and policy makers and includes contributions from several ENSE members.

It is must-buy for everyone working in the field of sport education and is now available here.

In the year 2016, the Vrije Universiteit Brussels, an ENSE member — with the support of streetfootballworld, ENGSO youth and VDAB — was commissioned by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) of the European Union to investigate sport’s contribution to the employability of young people in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy.

The final report of this study was released last month.

This study investigates sport’s contribution to the employability of young NEETs (not in employment, education or training) in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy. Its aim is to identify the key components needed to effectively produce outcomes in sport for employability programmes. Through this, a generic ‘programme theory’ for optimal sport for employability programmes then developed which identified the key components, mechanisms, relationships and a presumed sequence of causes and effects.Thus, this study can also be used as a robust basis for monitoring and evaluation of existing programmes, as well as to optimise design and implementation of future initiatives. Insights from this study also provide the basis for a number of policy recommendations

The full report, titled Study on the contribution of sport to the employability of young people in the context of the Europe 2020 Strategy is available here.

On November 3rd 2017, the inaugural iCoach Kids conference will be held at the Danubius Hotel Arena in Budapest.

Funded by Erasmus+, iCoachKids is an international, collaborative, multi-agency project aiming to support the development of a Specialist Children and Youth Coaching Workforce across the EU to make sure all youth sport participants have a positive experience led by suitably trained coaches leading to a lifelong involvement in sport and healthier lives.

iCoachKids will use a learner-centred, community-based, collaborative approach to create innovative learning and development opportunities for those coaching children and young people. Namely, the project will aim to develop an interactive learning tool, an online course and an online resource library.

Eight organisations are part of the project consortium, incluing ENSE member's the Lithuanian Sports University and the International Council for Coaching Excellence.

More information on the project can be found here, while the conference agenda can be found here.

The participation is free, limited number of international participants might benefit from free one night accommodation. Please contact Ladislav Petrovic on L.Petrovic@icce.ws
