The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is releasing information about the Women's Sport Leadership Academy (WSLA), led by the University of Chichester in the UK and developed and delivered in partnership with Leading Edge. There is great concern to include Portuguese-speaking participants in this programme.
This one-week residential programme consists of various activities such as workshops, personal development plans, reflection groups and peer support sessions.
The aim is to develop the female sports leaders of tomorrow in order to prepare and support them to increase their knowledge and become part of a growing group of female sports leaders.
Since 2014, more than 400 women, from a range of sports organisations and based in sixty-nine countries on six continents, have graduated from the Academy.
For the 2024 edition, the WSLA will bring together another 36 outstanding female leaders from around the world and support them in realising their leadership potential.
The WSLA 2024 residential week will take place from 8 to 13 February, Sunday to Friday, at Bishop Otter Campus, University of Chichester.
The deadline for applications is Thursday 29 February 2024. For more information, email wsla@chi.ac.uk or visit WSLA.
Olympic Solidarity's Olympic Values Training programme will offer a limited number of scholarships covering tuition fees.
In some cases, academics may benefit from an additional grant to help offset the cost of flight tickets. Priority will be given to National Olympic Committees (NOCs) considered to have the greatest needs.
NOCs wishing to nominate a candidate for a scholarship must submit their application via RELAY by 29 February 2024 at the latest for the 2024 edition. Please note that candidates will have to apply to the University of Chichester separately and be admitted to the course before Olympic Solidarity can consider a scholarship.
