After winning the Erasmus+Sport European Commission tender, the EuTriWeek project is about to start: a plan created by the Italian Triathlon Federation with the aim of promoting greater participation in sport by young Europeans.
Fitri was the first European sports federation to have won this type of tender which provides for a contribution of 450,000 euros for the development of a widespread growth, diffusion and international collaboration activity aimed at athletes aged 14 to 16 and youth coaches .
And next Monday, May 13th, the training course dedicated to coaches will begin - four sessions of two hours each (13, 15, 20 and 29 May from 6.30pm to 8.30pm) - which will address, in addition to technical issues, development aspects, communication, inclusion of young people in sport. Great importance will be given to the importance of the role of the coach in the growth phase of the children.
Among the speakers of this first online training, Maria Francesca Piacentini, Alberto Casadei, Luca Bianchini and Francesca Vitali.
Over one hundred coaches from the clubs of the project's European partners will be involved in this phase: Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Malta, Portugal, and Serbia.
Other fundamental steps of the EuTriWeek project will be the European Open Day (over one hundred participating clubs and 4,000 young people expected at the same time), sharing seminars on social matters to develop the Guidelines for an increasingly inclusive sport, a Triathlon Camp in Rome for 40 athletes (20 members + 20 non-members from the Open Day) and a European-level Triathlon race organized on the occasion of the World Triathlon Cup in Rome 2024.
