YOULEAD: de la mesa redonda de Podgorica al desarrollo de nuevos itinerarios formativos
El 16 de julio, los socios del proyecto YOULEAD celebraron una reunión en línea para dar continuidad a la mesa redonda organizada en Podgorica y avanzar en el desarrollo de los futuros itinerarios formativos.
Podgorica acogió la segunda reunión transnacional del proyecto, durante la cual los socios debatieron los resultados de la fase de investigación correspondiente al Work Package 2. La mesa redonda también supuso un primer paso hacia el diseño del programa de formación y educación, eje central del Work Package 3.
La reunión permitió retomar las principales conclusiones surgidas del intercambio con atletas, directivos deportivos, representantes de federaciones y expertos en gobernanza del deporte.
En el centro del debate estuvo la necesidad de proporcionar a los jóvenes herramientas prácticas que les permitan participar de forma activa y consciente en la vida de las organizaciones deportivas y en los procesos de toma de decisiones.
Se prestó especial atención a temas como el liderazgo, la comunicación, la integridad, la inclusión y la mentoría, elementos fundamentales para promover una gobernanza deportiva más abierta y participativa. Asimismo, se destacó el papel de los dirigentes deportivos, llamados a crear entornos seguros, inclusivos y capaces de valorar realmente la contribución de las nuevas generaciones.
La reunión confirmó la importancia de desarrollar itinerarios formativos dirigidos tanto a los jóvenes como a los miembros de los órganos de gobierno, con el objetivo de fortalecer el diálogo intergeneracional y fomentar una participación activa.
En los próximos meses, los socios seguirán trabajando conjuntamente para definir los contenidos y la estructura de los itinerarios formativos.
De este modo, YOULEAD continúa avanzando en su compromiso de promover una gobernanza deportiva más inclusiva, participativa y orientada al futuro.
YOULEAD: Transnational Project Meeting of European-Funded Project Concludes in Podgorica
The Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) of the Erasmus+ project YOULEAD, coordinated by Panathlon International, commenced on 23 June and concluded on 24 June in Podgorica, Montenegro. The two-day meeting brought together project partners to review the progress achieved so far and prepare the next phase of activities aimed at strengthening youth participation in sport governance.
During the first day of the meeting, partners analysed and shared the findings of the National Reports conducted in their respective countries. This work enabled the identification of common trends, good practices and valuable insights to support the next operational phases of the project. The discussions were further enriched by a review of the previously prepared literature review and recommendations, providing a solid evidence base for the project’s future actions.
The Steering Committee also convened on 23 June to review the overall progress of the project, assess the activities already implemented and discuss the forthcoming actions foreseen in the work plan.
The second day focused on a roundtable discussion that brought together a distinguished panel of experts from the fields of sport, education, youth policy and integrity. The session provided Consortium Partners with an opportunity to discuss their findings and present the initial concepts for the educational programme to be developed under Work Package 3. The exchange of experiences, perspectives and recommendations offered valuable insights that will contribute to the design and delivery of the project’s educational activities and outputs.
The roundtable featured Igor Vušurović, Olympic gold medallist from Sydney 2000, former Director responsible for State Administration for Sport and former Secretary General of the National Olympic Committee of Montenegro; Marija Jovanović, renowned Montenegrin athlete and Olympic silver medallist from London 2012; Neda Ojdanić, Director of the Anti-Doping Commission of Montenegro; Miloš Ranitović, Secretary General of the Paralympic Committee of Montenegro; Prof. Dr. Jovan Gardašević, Dean of the Faculty for Sport and Physical Education at the University of Montenegro; Demir Purović, Administrator of the Podgorica Youth Centre; and Nikoleta Bulatović, former tennis player, coach and sports manager.

The Podgorica TPM reaffirmed the partners’ shared commitment to promoting more inclusive, informed and participatory pathways for young people within the world of sport and marked an important step towards the implementation of Work Package 3.
