Young Leaders Forum

The Young Leaders Forum is to provide leadership in athletics content, information, knowledge, skills, tools and contacts to 80 or more representative of Europe’s 51 athletics federations (age 18-26) at the four full working days Forum staged in conjunction with the European Athletics Championships.

The main aims of the Forum programme are to:

• Sensitise the participants to the values of athletics and volunteerism and discuss how individuals can make a difference in the sport and their local community through their own efforts,
  • Empower the participants to design and deliver their own projects linked to athletics through the discussion of ideas, leadership skills and support opportunities,

• Energise the participants to promote the growth and development of the European Athletics Young Leaders community by exposing them to the community and engaging them in discussion about its future.

• Develop next generation of leaders on the grassroots level, club and Member Federation level, as well for European Athletics programmes and projects.

The Forum programme features a range of learning and interaction activities headlined by the following:

• Guest interviews
  • Project experience workshops led by Forum participants
  • A panel discussion moderated by a selected Forum participant
  • Interactive workshops led by facilitators from Local and international organisations
