PROMOTING DUAL CAREER THROUGH

EDUCATION OF YOUNG JOURNALISTS

The key objective of the PROmoting DUal Career through Education of

young journalists (PRODUCE) project is to develop and improve skills and

educate young reporters through volunteering at European Universities

Championships and Games while also promoting the dual career of athletes.

The project’s aim is to create
both an educational peer to
peer network among young
journalists in Europe while
simultaneously providing
guidelines for active learning,
giving non-formal knowledge
to budding reporters through
practical experience at
various European Universities
Championships.

PRODUCE will look to guide
the young reporters while also
educating trainers to share the
expertise with their students,
with the target age being 18-25.
A workshop will also be created
and presented at the European
Universities Games in Belgrade,
Serbia.

The two-year project’s goal is

to promote dual career using

successful examples of top

athletes who combine both

study and sport, using university

sport events to promote

university sport for high school

students and encourage them to

strive for Dual Career.

The final results of the project

will include educating trainers,

pointing out important topics for

non-formal education of young

reporters and writing guidelines

for improving the experience of

volunteers at grassroots-level at

major sport events.

These guidelines will be used

at EUSA and other sport events

that will ensure the legacy and

sustainability of the project.

The transnational project

includes the following partners:

AZS Sport club Poznan (POL);

SportIndeks (SER); KK Hrvatski

Dragovoljac (CRO); AIPS Europe

(MAL) and the EUSA Institute

(SLO).

The project, which was initially

expected to conclude in

December 2020, was prolonged

until December 2021 following

the postponement of the Games

in Belgrade.

The project is co-funded by the

Erasmus+ Programme of the

European Union. PLEASE SEE eusa.eu/projects/produce^
