Description of the project
 
The Sports Getaway is:
 
an ambition, an adventure, a dream that becomes reality...
two young women passionate about travel and sports
a personal and professional voyage of discovery
19 countries, 5 continents, 17 sporting events
18 months around the globe
volunteer work, challenges, learning experiences
meetings, tests, discoveries
 

Like the meeting of two roads, The Sports Getaway undoubtedly constitutes our point of encounter and our common path towards a unique objectif.  Originating from our university course entitled ‘International Management of Sport and Leisure’, the idea to reconcile our love of travel and our professional ambition emerged in a project where personal and professional experience could combine.

 It was during our world tour that we decided to globalize our understanding of sports and sporting events in particular.  To realize this we chose volunteering in order to immerse ourselves within sporting events throughout the world.  This would become a forming element, a unique developing tool in evolving competence within the global sporting arena.

This project allows our travelling spirits the opportunity to realize a dream – the discovery of the world and it’s diversities and people.  We are also participating in this wonderful programme offerred by ONU to heighten awareness and encourage education, health, developement and peace through sports.
