Sara Massini
on assignment
for ENGSO in Trento
to follow the work
on sport of the
European Commission
Sara Massini’s work within the ENGSO Ex-COM
(the Executive Committee) and her professionalism
have not gone unnoticed. The director of the
International Relations Department of OPES,
has received another prestigious assignment
from the maximum non-governmental sports
organization of the European Union. The last 4th
November, the European Non-Governmental
Sports Organisation (ENGSO), in fact, has sent
her to Trento to follow the work of the European
Commission’s group of experts, engaged in the
development of sport sector. As an observer
member, Sara Massini participated in the two-
day event addressing the following topic: “Skills
and Human Resources Development in Sport”.
The development of skills and human resources
in sports passes through guidelines that establish
which basic, and essential, requirements must
have a coach in terms of skills and competences.
The works done at the University of Trento
will also be used to draft a document that will
be published in 2020. A topic of such great
importance from both sport and social point of
view will certainly have a significant impact on the
transformation of European sport.
Massini and I will remain in Nantes until Sunday, because the calendar
of activities still includes appointments, comparisons and workshops.
Moreover, we will use this weekend to answer the questions of all the
people who want to deepen the issues related to our initiative”.
In Nantes, in addition to the volunteers and managers of the 5
associations, a group of participants to the project was invited.
Among them, people with and without disabilities who shared with
the audience their experiences, pointing out the impact of COME In
on their activities as well as in their lives.
For Sara Massini, however, these two days were
valuable in terms of content, meanings and
ideas. Directly or indirectly, her presence, her
reflections, her analysis and her contributions will
be an added value for ENGSO, for OPES and for
all sports organizations in the Old Continent.
