Training on VLE by UNIC (SEPT, NOV 2021)

WP3.1 is designed to elaborate 4 LLL modules for sport organizations, NGOs, schools and other interested parties to promote inclusive practices and healthy habits. Suggested modules are the following: Sport management for inclusive practices Volunteering management and fundraising Social psychology Sports and Exercise Nutrition These modules may be modified or increased depending on results of survey with feedback from sport entities and external stakeholders.

UNIC will train specialists to convert these courses into model platform or similar VLE. This is a way to embed modern methodologies and pedagogies to practitioners in sport and event management and other actors of society. The goal of these courses is two-fold. They can be integrated as part of curricula and they can be offered as part of lifelong learning programs for nonacademic population. Likewise, they will contribute to reinforce the cooperation university with local communities as part of their role as inclusive universities. With the transferrable curriculum participants can receive a certificate indicating the learning outcomes obtained. Short modules would correspond to the equivalent of 3-4 ECTS. We expect the LLL programs enhance the capacity of sport managers, physical educators, youth agencies, NGOs to learn how to promote inclusion and health through sport and physical activities and events.
