ENDURANCE
Entrepreneurial Capacity-building for Sport

Project

Links between sports & entrepreneurship are manifold, yet seldom recognized and rarely capitalized upon. The two are rarely found together in VET as effectively connected domains with synergic links: hence the need for much-needed entrepreneurial competences due to low entrepreneurship education in sports-oriented disciplines and lack of tailored entrepreneurship training. ENDURANCE “rethinks” the teaching and learning of entrepreneurship based on the complementarities and commonalities between sport and entrepreneurship, such as determination, perseverance, self-confidence, stamina, respect of rules, team play, self-reliance, competition, success/failure, etc.

Mapping

Partners will carry out a comprehensive mapping and stock taking of the dynamics of sports and entrepreneurship in the countries involved.

Training

ENDURANCE develops innovative training content to ignite entrepreneurial spirit and develops new tailored training materials and tools by establishing operational links between features and commonalities of sport and entrepreneurship, in various facets, mindsets and behaviours.

Endurance

Project

Sport is the most popular recreational activity, for centuries being an important element of society. Entrepreneurial spirit has also been embedded in societies for ages, helping people to grow socially and economically. The role of entrepreneurship is greater than ever before in EU due to current socio-economic challenges. New forms of entrepreneurship are emerging, while sport is playing an increasing societal role. Linkages between sports and entrepreneurship are manifold, yet not often recognized and rarely capitalized upon. This is valid across many sectors, especially in VET.
