YOULEAD: UoM preparing for the launch of an Erasmus+ project dedicated to youth leadership in sport

As part of the Erasmus+ project “Leading the Game: Developing Pathways for Gender-Balanced Youth Leaders in Sports Governance (YOULEAD)”, in which the University of Montenegro participates through the Balkan Institute for Science and Innovation (BISI), an online preparatory meeting with project partners was held on 27 November 2025. During the meeting, the implementation plan was presented and the next steps were discussed ahead of the official kick-off meeting expected to take place in Rome in early 2026.

YOULEAD focuses on empowering young people through sport by equipping them with leadership, organisational and governance skills needed for active involvement in decision-making processes within sports organisations. Through educational programmes, mentorship and practical engagement, young participants will be able to contribute to the development of an inclusive and modern sports system aligned with European standards of good governance.

The project is coordinated by the international sports organisation Panathlon International from Italy, while the consortium includes partners from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Sweden and Montenegro. Such a diverse partnership enables the exchange of practices and knowledge between the sports, youth and academic sectors, strengthening the quality and impact of project activities.

YOULEAD lasts for 30 months and started on 1 December 2025. The participation of the University of Montenegro in this initiative reaffirms its commitment to European projects that strengthen the role of youth in society and promote inclusive and responsible sports governance.
