SPORT FOR LIFE TRAINING OPPORTUNITY

The National Olympic Committee of Zambia (NOCZ) in partnership with Sport for Life would like to extend an invitation for your participation in the Sport for Life Training and Launch from 27 September 2021 – 9 October 2021.

Sport for Life is a training and development program focused on the youth, which helps participants develop management and facilitation skills, stimulating them to empower themselves to find solutions for their challenges, using sport as the ‘vehicle’ it being appealing to the youth and children, for being intuitive, and for allowing for a huge variety of activities with local resources.

The program started in Timor-Leste in 2015, had its first international pilot in Cabo Verde, and has since then been looking for partners to take it to other countries. In the program, participants gain skills and increasing responsibilities through a series of courses over time, and especially by practicing as volunteer instructors and facilitators.

During the two weeks of intensified training, participants will gain knowledge on how to organize sport activities with limited resources, including modules such as Leadership, Human Resources, Material Resources, Marketing & Promotion. The course will end with a multi-sport activity and the commitment of graduates to organize regular sport activities in their respective communities.

This program further gives an opportunity for Sport for Life graduates to apply to participate in a Train-the-Trainer Course, after organizing regular sports activities in their communities for some time.
