Training and Research

Sport for all, expressed in a single word, means more knowledge, more preparation, more professionalism, more curiosity, and consequently, more training. A good physical activity teacher is someone who makes us fall in love with movement. The training of teachers, technicians and sports managers must be aimed at providing skills and knowledge to promote a sporting practice suitable for everyone, consistent with a project and its objectives. This concept sees its implementation both vertically and horizontally. From the High National Education to the basic education expressed by the territory. Uisp therefore organizes training for sports operators, technicians, teachers, educators, coaches, entertainers, judges, referees, timekeepers, managers, teachers/trainers.

Uisp training  action, characterized by its roots that come from far away and the proximity to models spread in Europe, comes from a great cultural project of progress.

At the base of our project of sport for all, there has always been a multidisciplinary scientific and technical program and a great deal of research. It is no coincidence that the first proposals for physical activity for the very young were born in Uisp, "First steps" for girls and boys and "Sport-game-adventure", the activities of the program for the elderly in movement, the project "The body goes to school" and "Freestyles Routes" addressed to young people, the first walking groups, and many others are being born and will be born again.

Our training action has never stopped, we have 180 disciplines promoted by our Sectors of activity and Committees. There are tens of thousands of sports operators and technicians who attend our training and refresher courses every year. Uisp training wants to be responsible, qualified and accessible.

Giving life to such a process/path also means being able to develop research and innovation, and for innovating we need to realize a training action capable of affix an identifying mark on the preparation of its technicians and managers. Developing new learning to support them with the acquired knowledge; implementing an itinerary capable of "inserting" new skills and further professional abilities in the future of our organization. It means going to act on behaviors (individual and organizational) and on the ability to intentionally seek new opportunities for training by building the opportunity for all our Uisp operators/educators to keep in touch with the deep cultural, technical and methodological changes, which have alternated in recent decades in the area of physical activities and sports.

Such an itinerary does not always require complicated proposals but simple and feasible ideas in projects, activities, disciplines: coordinating training paths; producing technical innovation, doing high-level research, creating paths for the definition of trainers and trainers of trainers, knowing how to transfer experiences of the territory in the updating of our managers, conveying training modules and teaching models. Associative continuity, organizational renewal, cultural innovation, three axes to be pursued not in an alternative form, but in a parallel way, in order to involve the entire association.
