"Young Leaders in Barents"

Background:

How can we give young people a bigger role in Barentssports? Where are the young leaders?


We have observed a need to increase the proportion of young leaders and young event volunteers in sports. Our commitment to young leadership wants to challenge the sports teams and sports leaders to think new. We also want to give young people the tools to be well equipped for the future.

If we want to get young people involved in sports leadership, we have to give them competence, an arena where they can exercise leadership and contribute actively in sports-events.

Barents Sports Committee will recruit and train young leaders in every aspect!
- From organizing committee to organizing clubs.

The project started in Bodø 2017 as a side project, and has developed further into a valued part of Barents Sports.
