Partners of the MLEA (Micro Learning Entrepreneurship for Athletes) consortium met for a live meeting on September 27 and 28 in the Croatian capital Zagreb, defining the survey which will be used to finalise the entrepreneurship courses, targeting especially talented and elite athletes.

The project aims to enable current and former athletes to get an introduction into business field, facilitating the transition from sports to work and entrepreneurial careers. This will take form through specialised online courses for current and former athletes, focusing on development of entrepreneurial and business skills.



Educational partners drafted the planned online modules, and will finalise them after receiving valuable feedback from the talented and elite athletes. The course will then be further promoted by the national Olympic Committees and the EUSA Institute, reaching students and athletes in partner countries and wider.



MLEA project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, and is lead by the Zagreb School of Economics and Management (ZSEM) from Croatia. In addition to ZSEM as the leader, the consortium of the project consists also of two other educational institutions: the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) from Sweden and the German WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management; four Olympic committees: NOCs of Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the EUSA Institute from Slovenia.



After the constructive meetings, hosted at the ZSEM headquarters in Zagreb, the participants also visited the Maksimir stadium and met with representatives of the most successful Croatian Football Club GNK Dinamo.



The EUSA Institute was represented at the meeting by its Communications and Projects Manager Mr Andrej Pisl and the International Relations Officer Ms Lea Medvesek.
