Preface Dear readers, The physical, social and emotional interaction experienced during sports and recreational activities are very important for the development of social cohesion, not only amongst children and young people but amongst sportsmen and women of all ages. By offering numerous possibilities for non-formal education, sport is an essential factor to help create a harmonious and inclusive European social environment. As a result, close personal relationships and trust develop amongst the individuals concerned, and while this aspect is often essential when training for success, it also represents an area of significant vulnerability for sexual and gender harassment and abuse. Within the context of nation-wide discussions concerning the different reports about the abuse of children in public and private institutions, the German Olympic Sports Confederation and the German Sports Youth have, on the basis of existing concepts in their member organisations, developed structures and guidelines for the prevention of sexual and gender harassment and abuse in the sporting environment. As such, when in 2011 the Sport Unit of the European Commission called for proposals aimed at supporting projects to fight violence and intolerance in sport, the opportunity to address this topic at the European level was ideal. Through exchanges between European countries, by increasing the scope of the European network and highlighting the particular challenges faced when implementing preventative measures, the German Sports Youth hopes not only to develop its own practice, but to give impetus to further transnational cooperation and developments within the sector. As this topic will never be explored enough in the light of the damage that it can and has caused, the persisting effort to create a secure and sound sporting environment in Europe will challenge the sports sector to develop new impulses and nurture a continuous proactive attitude. Working together to face this problem will be essential in order to improve the situation in a growing number of countries, and therefore every effort, commitment and engagement in this direction deserves deep respect and credit. I would like to thank the European Commission for its support and I look forward to pursuing this path with its continued support. Ingo Weiss Chair of German Sports Youth within the German Olympic Sports Confederation Preface Dear readers, Sport is currently a disputed social terrain: on the one hand it exposes individuals and society to positive values, but at the same time it also bears the potential to be harmful. Therefore, we believe that one of the main tasks of the European sporting movement is to work towards safeguarding the integrity of sport. Focusing on preventive measures and investing continuously into the education of European sportsmen and women, especially in our European youth sector, plays a vital role in accomplishing this long-term goal. Concerted European action is required to effectively promote the ethical values inherent to sport and in order to truly offer all individuals and groups in society equal opportunities to participate in and enjoy the benefits of sport. Bringing together a European project network and finding common denominators between various actors and bodies at different levels of the European sporting, social and scientific environments is a challenging task that is easily underestimated in terms of the resources necessary for such a project to run smoothly. Despite the fact that European coordination often means compromising, adjusting and adapting in previously unforeseen ways, initiating and being involved in projects such as this one always allows an organisation to grow and develop its capacities, networks and know-how. The November 2012 conference “Safer, better, stronger – Prevention of Sexual Harassment and Abuse in sports” is the final stage of the EU-funded project “Prevention of sexualised violence in sports – Impulses for an open, secure and sound sporting environment in Europe” and a contribution to provide a platform not only for strengthening transnational and cross- sector cooperation, but also for sensitising and raising awareness at all levels of the complex social environment that surrounds the problem of harassment and abuse. Bringing together individuals and organisations with differing competences is an ideal occasion to foster networking among experienced actors and beginners alike, to link European resources, to learn from and support each other as well as to encourage future collaboration. As a main outcome of this project, this catalogue of initiatives from Europe and beyond will support this intercultural learning to develop national approaches in order to prevent sexual and gender harassment and abuse in sports. I hope you can use this opportunity to its full potential, and I look forward to cooperating in the future.

    European Sport Industry May 11 – 26, 2014 University of Cincinnati Program Proudly Provided by Sports Travel Academy www.facebook.com/SportsTravelAcademy CONTENTS Introduction 3 Program Details & Cost 9 Program Package Includes 10 Program Itinerary 11 Who is the Sports Travel Academy? 19 2 Introduction From an academic perspective Europe offers fantastic opportunities for students interested in the Global Sport Industry to visit and study the European model of sport. The origins of many of the world's most popular sports today lay in the codification of many traditional European games. This program will take students inside the European Model of Club Sports where they will receive firsthand experience at some of the world’s most successful sporting clubs and organizations including the IOC, FIFA, Red Bull, The Hague University, the German Sports University as well as a number of Sporting Clubs, Facilities & Sport Businesses. This program visits the Netherlands, Germany, Austria & Switzerland and along the way will cross several diverse sporting and cultural borders. Students will be exposed to a number of different sports and will no doubt increase their knowledge of sport in the global community. Unlike major team sports in the USA where franchises are awarded to nominated cities, most European teams have grown from small clubs formed by groups of individuals before growing rapidly. Churches, community facilities and work places have often been the most fertile birthplace of many of Europe's major sports clubs. The most popular sport in Europe is undoubtedly Association football (soccer). European club teams are the strongest (and highest paid) in the world led by the Union of European Football Association (UEFA).

    Master Thesis Tjebbe Onnes Master Thesis Football Teams and City Brand Awareness Tjebbe Onnes 15-06-2010 Coach: Dr. Eric Braun Master Economics and Business Co-Reader: Dr. Alexander Otgaar Student nr.: 283874 [email protected] 1 Master Thesis Tjebbe Onnes Preface Although I have studied Economics and Business and I will shortly start my working career at Ahold N.V. it is no secret that both do not fulfill my ultimate goal; that of being a professional football player. However, it is safe to say that with my qualities such a career will always stay a dream. My interest in football is still very much present and therefore I am pleased to have gotten the possibility to combine football and economics. Sport and particularly football (in Europe) generates emotion. This emotion and high level of involvement triggers economists to investigate sport economics, as the real economic impact of sport is minimal. This level of attachment has also been my inspiration. The financial crisis and the mismanagement of many Dutch professional football teams have created substantial financial problems in Dutch professional football. This year FC Haarlem, VV Veendam went bankrupt, while Willem II, NAC Breda, Feyenoord, Fortuna Sittard, MVV and other were facing financial deficits. Those developments show the relevance and good timing of my research. Local governments are more frequently requested to financially support these football teams. As football teams do not contribute significantly in direct economic figures, intangible assets are often used by municipality leaders when explaining financial help paid by tax money. I would like to thank Mr.

  • November N. 156
    NOVEMBER N. 156 EOC …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. We are all French, Russian, Turkish – this was the theme for the month of November across the whole world. The Olympic family of Europe offered its solidarity and sympathy with the victims of recent terror attacks across Europe during its annual General Assembly in Prague: a deeply European moment for all members of the EOC. At the beginning of November, EOC President Patrick Hickey faced numerous responsibilities as the end of 2015 loomed - a year which he has defined as “historic”. The biggest engagment for Patrick Hickey was the EOC General Assembly in Prague, where he welcomed the leaders of the Olympic Movement, including IOC President Thomas Bach, ANOC President Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al- Sabah, and IOC and EOC Honorary Presidents Jacques Rogge and Mario Pescante. Czech Olympic Committee President Jiří Kejval was also a prominent figure throughout the weekend and delegates were honoured by the presence of Milos Zeman, the President of the Czech Republic. Following the meetings in Prague, President Hickey went on to Monte Carlo for the 8th Peace and Sport International Forum, chaired by HSH Prince Albert II. Whilst there, the President of the EOC joined a panel of judges awarding this year’s distinctions, which were presented during the Grand Gala at the Monte Carlo Sporting Club. November 2015 was not a month to be forgotten easily. 4th Executive Committee meeting of 2015 - On the eve of the 44th EOC General Assembly, the Executive Committee met in the Czech capital to review the year’s activities. Czech Olympic Committee President Jiří Kejval and Secretary General Petr Graclik attended the opening, offering their European colleagues and President Patrick Hickey a warm welcome.

Our business community is an indispensable partner in efforts to foster economic, social and ecological sustainable development. Dutch companies, big and small, are helping to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals with investment and innovative solutions. Our open, inclusive and inventive society wants to live sustainably so that together we can ensure a bright future for our children. We believe that a circular economy, in balance with our natural resources, points the way to our country’s future. And the Sustainable Development Goals are our compass on that journey. We hope we can make that journey with you, as our partner in development. It’s very much a two-way partnership: we can offer solutions to your problems, just as you can doubtless offer solutions to ours. Together we can make things happen. So let’s co-create solutions.
