PASSPORT (Project for Academy Sport SupPORT) addresses the challenges of the athletes to combine their sporting career with education and its aim is to promote and support dual careers for athletes by setting up a transnational network of partners which are developing a platform for the training of athletes in the sport management, hence contributing to their employability.
PASSPORT is a collaborative partnership in Erasmus + Sport with three sport associations (Rijeka Sport’s Association from Croatia, Bulgarian Sports Development Association from Bulgaria and Športna zveza Ajdovščina from Slovenia), two academic institutions (Business school PAR from Croatia and FH Joanneum University of Applied Sciences from Austria) and one NGO (Mine Vaganti NGO from Italy) trying to compare experience from East and West part of Europe. Rijeka Sport’s Association from Rijeka, Croatia is the project coordinator and the other organizations are the co-beneficiaries.
