The Before project is thrilled to announce the release of the Training Course on Anti-Bullying in Sports. The online course on anti-bullying education for coaches includes three modules on understanding, preventing and responding to bullying. The course is free and available in:
The main deliverables of the project will be:
Research and Best Practice in dealing with bullying in sport.
A review of the current policies in place in each country of the partners.
Creation of a comprehensive, far-reaching, inter-disciplinary ‘Anti-Bullying Education for Sports Coaches’ training and education programme.
The project focuses on improving behaviours while fostering inclusion at the different levels of gender, special needs, migrants and minorities. The issue of preventing and tackling bullying intolerance within sport is one main objective, including peer to peer bullying, coach to athlete bullying and coach to coach bullying.
The project aims to improve the skills and competencies of everyone involved in sport at the following areas:
Signify sport as an activity for all and not just able-bodied, inspire young people not only to promote a healthy lifestyle but to feel part of a community and a culture that surrounds them by bringing people together and feel part of a greater whole beyond themselves.
Positive effects on social inclusion education and training will contribute to socio-economic potential through the creation of sustainable health through breaking down social barriers.
Potentially lead to greater playing numbers, lifelong enjoyment, helping young players learn all the attributes through sport. Education will provide the opportunity to enhance a coach’s ability to not only recognise bullying but to deal with it effectively and also look at their own behaviour for the change required to provide an inclusive environment where no individual is or feels victimised or excluded but an environment to nurture and grow as an athlete and an individual. Improving our behaviours and education could impact enjoyment and dropout.
