FIL has been established through a collaboration between DGI and six sports colleges in Denmark. The collaboration aims to unite the college’s values, popular enlightenment, life mastery and democratic formation with DGI’s values; Health, challenge and community, through a contemporary sports management education.
The purpose of the education
The sports leader of the future and the total college stay intends:
- To create potential young sports / association leaders with insight into and motivation to – in a constructive way – be able to contribute to development in the field of sports and associations.
- To provide the students with a theoretical understanding of both the current sports image and the development trends within sports and association life in DK.
- To create reflective and action-oriented potential young sports / association leaders with insight into their own resources.
- To provide students with a theoretical foundation and practical tools in relevant areas such as management, collaboration, project management, communication and dissemination.
- To give students the opportunity in practice to test and apply acquired knowledge and tools in a real context.
With this education, we want to promote personal development as well as motivate conscious, reflective sports leaders who have an understanding of and insight into conditions that help to develop association life.
The content of the subject
The subject FIL contains one or more sports-related project courses in parallel with topics within ‘The World of Sports’ and ‘Personal Development, Communication and Management’ being brought into play in the teaching. In addition, students participate in a study trip with the country’s other FIL colleges. The project work aims to provide students with a theoretical foundation as well as practical tools in relation to. management, planning, organization and execution of projects. The college’s work with the surrounding community gives students the opportunity, and experience, to try out and apply the practical tools in a real context.
– The World of Sports
Here we will i.a. touch upon topics such as the history of sports, development and organization in Denmark, the qualities and intrinsic value of sport, volunteering and involvement, association development – its opportunities and challenges as well as different target groups of children, young people and adults in sport.
– Personal Development, Communication and Management
Through the students’ project process, the collaboration is put under the microscope and the personal development is put into play. – How does the student participate in the collaboration, who takes responsibility, and how do we utilize the team’s strengths. Team building, communication, conflict management and management tools are all elements that are touched upon through theoretical presentations, practical exercises and experiences from the project work. We will examine different types of people and discuss the instructor’s / leader’s role as a cultural carrier in association life.
– Study days
As part of the FIL education, there is a 2-day study trip, where all FIL students go on an excursion to the upcoming county convention city together with the FIL students from the other partner colleges. Here, students are introduced to current sports themes from different arenas – including presentations on DGI’s and the municipalities’ work with sports as well as examples from association life. Team building and teaching organized by the students themselves as well as work with project management in practice – often with externals as process coordinators – are also themes of the day.
The days put the FIL subject in perspective and provide, in addition to a lot of experiences with other high school students, insight into what job opportunities there are in the field of sports and health. Through shared experiences, debate and dialogue, the students’ network is expanded to future development in sports and association life.
