A grassroots model

Immerse yourself in the Netherlands' world-renowned approach to community sports—a powerful ‘grassroots model’. Grassroots refers to local, community-based sports initiatives. They are often volunteer-led and focus on participation rather than competition. They cater to all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, promoting inclusivity.

This Blended Intensive Programme offers a unique look into Dutch sports culture, where inclusivity and performance go hand in hand. You'll collaborate with Dutch students on real-life challenges, visit professional club PEC Zwolle - where Liverpool manager Arne Slot began - and gain hands-on experience in sports management, volunteer coordination, and community building.

For more information about this BIP, see the programme description on Windesheim's website.
