The project Micro Learning Entrepreneurship for Athletes (MLEA) addresses promotion of education in and through sport with special focus on skills development, as well as supports the implementation of the EU Guidelines on Dual Careers of Athletes.

Project partners kicked off the initiative, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union via online meeting, held on February 10. The project will look to address a glaring gap in entrepreneurial education for athletes (in partners’ countries and EU level in general) that is adequate for athletes dealing with contemporary issues such as balancing sports and education/employment career.



The main objective of the project is to promote education in and through sport and to support the implementation of the EU Guidelines on Dual Careers of Athletes with development of tailor-made, modular curriculum on entrepreneurship for athletes, enriched with gamification elements and applied micro-learning methodology, and offered as online educational micro-learning course on entrepreneurship on MLEA learning space/website.



The project is coordinated by Zagreb School of Economics and Management (CRO), with project partners including Croatian Olympic Committee (CRO), Stiftelsen Stockholm School of Economics Institute for Research (SWE), WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management (GER), Olympic Committee of Bosnia (BOS), Olympic Committee of Serbia (SRB), Olympic Committee of Slovenia (SLO) and the EUSA Institute (SLO).
