About the Project

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

eYOUAca has the objective of developing an innovative e-learning academy addressed to 75 young people – aged between 18 and 30 years old – through the engagement of a team of young leaders who have been already trained during the first 3 past small collaborative partnership projects (for more info: www.youaca.eu). The general objective of the eYOUAca project is to develop a curriculum of “young leaders in grassroots sport management at national and international level”. The curriculum is composed of e-training modules and 1 internship module in which young trainees are asked to cooperate with their organisations in order to put into practice what they learned in developing innovative sport activities for children from 5 to 11 years old. The e-training and e-internship will be evaluated and certified according to the EQF Level, indeed, at the end of the eYOUAca training course the participants will be certified for the title of Instructor Junior Coach – 48 hours of general subjects and 48 of internship (20 Credits TC). The course is composed of 7 e-training modules: financial management, project design, hard skills and specific knowledge, leadership, communication and event management.
