Project Details
Description
The ‘EDUcation for Dual Careers of football talents (EDU-DC)’ project aims at empowering talented football players from 16 to 21 years
old in Europe by developing their dual careers (DC). The main goal of this integrated approach targeting both women and men players
will be achieved by reinforcing the capacities of DC Coordinators and important staff members (football coaches, manager of Academies,
life skills coaches and career counsellors / study coaches) from European Football Federations & Clubs through a comprehensive &
holistic Educational Programme tackling the diverse dimensions of the DCs and by testing several Pilot Actions by engaging football
federations & clubs across 4 EU countries. DCs are tackled through different angles, following a holistic approach that covers sports
performance, education, employability, wellbeing, life skills & competencies, identity development and financial skills.
