2st Transnational meeting
The second transnational meeting was hosted by TUL in Kisakeskus, Finland. It was an intensive and fruitful experience. A 4 days and half of training camp where the group of 25 young members of sport organizations, coming from Italy, Spain, Estonia and Finland had the opportunity to participate in the special framework of Kisis Camp.
The camp had the aim of developing skills of leading and management in the field of grassroots sport. According with the needs mapped in the first transnational meeting in Tortosa, the trainers’ team coordinated by the project manager organized the camp and delivered the training. The camp wasn’t only a training course, but a balanced mix of training modules, sport, cultural and networking activities.
According to the mapped training’s needs, the camp was divided into three modules:
- Training module I on Leading and group management skills
The trainer Riku Ahola worked on the developing of skills for the management of group interactions and conflicts.
- Training module II on Grassroots Sport Event Organization
Anu Rajajarvi and Susanna Mantioni aimed at developing skills and knowledges on which the main criteria a young leader should keep in mind when he is going to organize an initiative at grassroots sport level, in particular financial and logistic aspects.
- Training module III on Networking and Public communication.
Cosimo Renzi involved the group of young people in a learning by doing activity aimed at developing skills of public communication and organization of events. The group was asked to design, organize and manage the seminar that has been held in Helsinki with the goal of present the project. At the seminar the project had the pleasure to host some important managers and roles, such as Sirpa Paater, Birgitta Kervinen, Riku Tapio, and for the final speech the CSIT president Bruno Molea.
It was a group work in which every participant has his own role in the seminar organization.
