High-Tatras, Slovakia: A Successful GETS Training Event in the Heart of Nature
The ACC took part at the recently held training course (15-19 February) at the picturesque Maladinovo resort, nestled in the heart of the High-Tatras in Slovakia. The event aimed to up-skill 30 sport and civil organizations’ staff and volunteers with the educational methodology necessary to deliver accessible sporting events that address the challenges of climate change and environmental issues.
The training course, based on non-formal education, introduced the tangible outcomes of the GETS project, particularly the e-module, which was tested by participants during the event. The goal of this testing activity was to further develop the e-module, making it more appealing and user-friendly for key target groups: staff and volunteers of grassroots sport organizations and green NGOs.
Building on the personal contributions of participants, the event featured interactive workshops and presentations, round-table discussions, and debates. As a follow-up, attendees are expected to implement the knowledge they acquired during the training in their local communities.
The venue, Maladinovo (https://en.maladinovo.sk/ubytovanie), is located near the town of Liptovsky Mikulas, the largest ski resort in Slovakia – Jasna, and within the Low Tatra National Park area. This beautiful setting reinforced the project’s focus on sustainability and environmental protection.
The GETS project is an 18-month Erasmus+ initiative that aims to develop, test, and implement an innovative online educational tool. This tool enables grassroots sport and environmental organizations to exchange knowledge to deliver eco-friendly sport events benefiting a wide range of target groups. GETS addresses the growing need for the grassroots sport movement to implement more sustainable, environmentally friendly, volunteer-based, and widely accessible sport events. These events not only raise awareness about the importance of environmental protection but also encourage participation in health-enhancing physical activities.

Visoke Tatre, Slovačka: Uspješan GETS trening u srcu prirode
ACC je sudjelovao na nedavno održanom tečaju obuke (15.-19. veljače) u slikovitom odmaralištu Maladinovo, smještenom u srcu Visokih Tatri u Slovačkoj. Događaj je imao za cilj usavršiti 30 zaposlenika i volontera sportskih i civilnih organizacija s obrazovnom metodologijom potrebnom za pružanje pristupačnih sportskih događaja koji se bave izazovima klimatskih promjena i ekološkim pitanjima.
Tečaj obuke, temeljen na neformalnom obrazovanju, predstavio je opipljive rezultate projekta GETS, posebice e-modul, koji su sudionici testirali tijekom događaja. Cilj ove aktivnosti testiranja bio je daljnji razvoj e-modula, čineći ga privlačnijim i lakšim za korištenje za ključne ciljne skupine: osoblje i volontere masovnih sportskih organizacija i zelenih nevladinih organizacija.
Nadovezujući se na osobne doprinose sudionika, događaj je sadržavao interaktivne radionice i prezentacije, okrugle stolove i debate. Kao nastavak, od polaznika se očekuje da znanje koje su stekli tijekom obuke implementiraju u svojim lokalnim zajednicama.
Mjesto događaja, Maladinovo (https://en.maladinovo.sk/ubytovanie), nalazi se u blizini grada Liptovsky Mikulas, najvećeg skijališta u Slovačkoj – Jasna, i unutar područja Nacionalnog parka Niske Tatre. Ovo prekrasno okruženje pojačalo je fokus projekta na održivost i zaštitu okoliša.
Projekt GETS je 18-mjesečna Erasmus+ inicijativa koja ima za cilj razviti, testirati i implementirati inovativni online obrazovni alat. Ovaj alat omogućuje masovnim sportskim i ekološkim organizacijama da razmjenjuju znanja za isporuku ekološki prihvatljivih sportskih događaja od kojih koristi imaju širok raspon ciljnih skupina. GETS se bavi rastućom potrebom masovnog sportskog pokreta za provedbom održivijih, ekološki prihvatljivijih, volonterskih i široko dostupnih sportskih događaja. Ova događanja ne samo da podižu svijest o važnosti zaštite okoliša, već i potiču na sudjelovanje u tjelesnim aktivnostima koje utječu na zdravlje.
