Abstract [en]

The presented report is part of the Sustainable Sport Management (SSM) Project and describes the process and results of work package 2 (WP2). Accordingly, it presents the deliverables D2.1, D2.2, D2.3, D2.4 of the project. These deliverables focus on SSM curricula mapping and their alignment with the sustainable strategies of sport organisations. To examine this issue, an online survey was conducted among 76 representatives of higher education institutes (HEI) that offer undergraduate and graduate sport management programmes. In total, respondents from 21 countries in Europe and the USA are included in the survey. Furthermore, five focus groups were conducted and five sport management curricula were scrutinised and presented in this report. 

Key findings: 

• The examined curricula showed most connection with socially oriented Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), compared to a current underrepresentation of environmental goals. • Most students will encounter teaching related to sustainability during their education as an integrated part of different sport management courses. 42% of the examined programmes offer one or several specific course(s) or module(s) that relates to sustainability. • The results highlight that the personal interest of academic staff is very important when introducing sustainability as a topic in a study programme. • To further the integration of sustainability in curricula, a clear understanding, definition and structure of sustainability is of importance as well as the representation of all 17 goals. • Academic staff must be introduced to education and teaching tools related to sustainable development to further develop knowledge and implementation. • A continuous negotiation between top-level decision-makers and academic staff is necessary for a long-lasting implementation in a curriculum. • Adequate funding is also crucial to include sustainability in a curriculum, since a lack of resources (money and time) is one of the major obstacles to implement sustainability. • It is advised to integrate sustainability competences like interpersonal thinking, values thinking, future thinking, etc. in the programme design.
