Fourth Revolution in Sport Training

ongoing

The Fourth Industrial Revolution in Sport Training (FRIST) project is aimed at equipping sport sector professionals with advanced digital skills to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the digital era. The project's overarching goal is to catalyse digital transformation within sport organisations by offering a state-of-the-art training programme. This programme seeks to address several specific objectives: firstly, to close the digital skills gap among sport professionals; secondly, to foster inclusivity by ensuring that the training is accessible to a diverse range of participants; and thirdly, to encourage cross-sector collaboration, leveraging insights and expertise from various fields to enrich the training content and methodology. To achieve these ambitious goals, the FRIST project employs a multifaceted strategy. A key component is the adjustment of a learning curriculum to specific needs of participants based on a structured pre- and post-assessment of needs, including additional assessments carried out throughout the duration of the training programme. Furthermore, the project emphasizes international cooperation, facilitating partnerships among sport organisations from different countries. This global network enables the exchange of best practices and innovative ideas, enhancing the quality and impact of the training. The FRIST project also prioritizes sustainability and practical application, ensuring that the benefits of the training extend beyond the duration of the programme itself. Participants are encouraged to apply what they have learned in their professional contexts, leading to tangible improvements in digital competency within the sport sector. Through this comprehensive approach, the FRIST project aims to make a significant contribution to the digital readiness of sport organisations, aligning with broader European Union initiatives to enhance digital education and training across various sectors.
