Guidelines on Dual Career adopted
On 30 March 2011 in Budapest, Hungary, in the presence of representatives of the European Commission and national sport ministries, the project participants of “Athletes 2 Business” (A2B) adopted unanimously the guidelines to promote dual careers in Europe. The A2B guidelines are not binding and contain concrete proposals of action which are modeled after good practices to create a better framework and environment for athletes to reconcile top-level sporting achievement with education. They will now be distributed to relevant stakeholders. The A2B guidelines are also available in German and French.
The EOC EU Office led the A2B project in close cooperation with athletes and partners coming from the business world, education and sport. During 15 months, the project team of A2B organized workshops and study visits to collect pertinent information and identify good practices in the field of dual career.
The A2B guidelines are addressed to athletes, businesses, educational institutions, sport organisations and public authorities and highlight what each of them can do to promote dual career. The A2B participants hope that the European Commission and the other stakeholders identified will follow-up on these guidelines and use them extensively to support athletes successfully in their dual endeavours.
