22/12/2008 - JOINT CONFERENCE HOSTED BY EOSE AND THE EQF-SPORT PROJECT (LLL FUNDS)

The EOSE Association and EQF-Sport Projects joint European Conference entitled "A common approach from the Sport and Active Leisure Sector to the tools of workforce development and worker mobility" was organised in Brussels on 15/16 December 2008 and gathered more than 60 participants from 18 different EU countries.

The format of the event and mix of stakeholders gave the opportunity to exchange on the main characteristics, advancements, proposed methodologies and challenges of the Vocational Education and Training for the Sport and Active Leisure Sector in Europe. The debates and discussions during the 2 days were really intense, strongly beneficial for the advancement of the work and the consultation process, and we really believe that we can be optimistic for future cooperation in the Sport and Active Leisure sector.
