Projects
Good Governance enhancement through e-Learning for Sport Volunteer Board Members
Co-funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union, the project “Good Governance enhancement through e-Learning for Sport Volunteer Board Members (GReFORM)” aims to increase the capabilities and knowledge of volunteer Board Members in sport organisations by providing online and research-informed education on Good Governance in sport. The electronic platform will allow board members of sports organisations, especially Volunteers -in their own time- to follow a series of educational modules on Good Governance principles (Transparency, Democracy, Accountability, and Responsibility). By providing up-to-date, research-informed, and quality-oriented educational support to Volunteer Board Members, the good governance of sport organisations will be strengthened.
