The topic
Health, education, high performance, the economy and sustainable development through sport
Sport today is a truly social phenomenon involving numerous actors, not only from the not-for-profit sector but also from the private and public sectors. This is a complex environment for sports managers to deal with. When public administrations develop and manage their sports policies, they must notably consider the existing autonomy that sports organisations enjoy. Switzerland's Federal Council has identified those administrations' objectives as health and quality of life, overall education, elite sports and emerging talents, the economy and sustainable development. The course's different modules will inform and help not-for-profit and private sector managers interacting with public administrations and federal, cantonal and communal civil servants to better understand their environment and attain their objectives.
