Our project
Project
The project is divided into the following 6 Intellectual Outputs (O). The O1 and O2 correspond to the research activities of the state of the art, which aim at detecting obstacles, needs and barriers of this group in their sports and academic careers, according to their degree of disability and personal background.
This information will serve as a basis for the creation of a guide of good practices and the design and development of the contents and structure of the innovative online curriculum aimed at training expert mentors (O3). Based on this comprehensive curriculum, an interactive online open access course will be designed and developed.
Terms of structure
Its suitability, both in terms of structure, content and proper functioning, will be analysed through the implementation of a pilot course. The results and information obtained from this experience will serve to improve and adapt the initial proposal (O4).
In addition to this, taking into account all the information collected and analysed in the project, as well as the main results of the project, a European handbook will be developed to disseminate the results and make possible the dual career of disabled university sportsmen and women in other territories (O5). Finally, an Observatory on Dual Career, Disability and Sport will be created to evaluate and monitor the development of this topic.
