Furthermore, the Blueprint kick-off meeting was attended by Agata Dziarnowska from the sport unit of DG EAC to present an update of the European Commission’s perspective on sport and human resource development. Following the first meeting, the consortium will work in Technical Expert Groups (TEG) to conduct different studies for the Active Leisure Sector, update Active Leisure qualifications and apply ECVET and ECTS to foster pan-European use and labor market mobility. The next TEG meetings will take place end of May 2018 for consolidation and peer review.
