Elite sport and higher education in the Brussels-Capital Region (phase 9): Online workshops for student-athletes
For the 2020 call of Dynamic Brussels "A Young and Dynamic Region", the dpt. Topsport en Studie organized a new project phase entitled "Elite sport and higher education in the Brussels-Capital Region: Online workshops for student-athletes". The project is funded by Dynamic Brussels and led by the dpt. Topsport & Studie of VUB (prof. dr. Paul Wylleman, prof. dr. Koen De Brandt, dr. Simon Defruyt) in collaboration with ULB.
The project started in January 2021 and aimed at developing online workshops to optimize the competencies of student-athletes in the Brussels-Capital Region, centered around the following topics:
- Evaluation of dual career 'elite sport and higher education' competencies
- Dual Career Management
- Career Planning
- Emotional awareness
- Social intelligence & Adaptability
