Erasmus+ Collaborative Partnership (Sport Chapter) FOCUS: Sport Officiating TITLE: Innovative education to enhance the skills of Sport Officials in Europe (ONSIDE Project) DURATION: 36 months from 01 January 2018 APPLICANT/COORDINATOR: EOSE PARTNERSHIP: 11 partners from 9 different countries

Starting point: No sport officials = no sport Focus: Sport officials (e.g. umpires, referees, judges) Definition: Officials are at the heart of sport and involved in competitions/ games/ contests from grassroots to the elite level. They apply the rules in their sport and their role includes upholding the integrity of sport and offering a fair, impartial, safe and enjoyable environment and sporting experience for participants. The project will benefit the whole sport sector.

A RECOGNISED NEED EXPRESSED BY THE SECTOR: Sport organisations across the EU, including the 11 partners in the project, recognise the need: - to enhance the image and recognition of sport officials and - to provide them the opportunity to develop their skills to respond to the challenging environment in which they operate. THE ONSIDE PROJECT WAS DESIGNED AS A CONCRETE RESPONSE TO A REALITY AND NEED FROM THE SECTOR

The project is aligned with EU policies in sport, education and employment and will particularly focus on the new priority: Promote education in and through sport with special focus on skills development.
