Description of the initiative
- The TASEM project conceived, developed and implemented an innovative Training Programme In Sports Events Management (TASEM) delivered by the academic organizations integrated in the consortium and targeting athletes and coaches affiliated to the Olympic Committees and National Federations involved.
- The main objective of the project was to promote and develop learning mobility for the education and training of athletes in the management and organization of sport events, hence contributing to their employability and to the social legacy of the event.
- The TASEM programme developed a tailor-made innovative academic curriculum, including learning mobility through a traineeship scheme implemented during the Mediterranean Games in Tarragona (30 June – 9 July 2017). More concretely it provided scholarships and internships to Higher Education students in the field of Sport Event Management.
- TASEM provided valuable experience abroad allowing the participants to acquire new skills and competences (e.g. language, social and civic skills, intercultural understanding) relevant to the labour market but also for social inclusion and active citizenship.
- TASEM has agreed a strategic partnership with academic institutions and National Olympic Committees and national Sport Federations of countries from the Southern Mediterranean basin and the Middle East.
- At the end of the academic programme (240 Theory + 160 Practice) the participating athletes obtained an official Postgraduate Degree from the University of Lleida ( http://www.udl.es/ca/en ) if the athlete holds a Higher Education Grade. The Academic programme is composed of 8 sessions which took place in different places in Europe.
