The first meeting of the European Commission’s HIEP (Handball International Educational Project) took place in Rome in the past few days at the “Stadio Olimpico” with great success, where Olympiacos was “present”.

The specific program aims to promote the development of handball coaches at European level.

The HIEP project is developed in cooperation with EPSI – The European Platform for Sport Innovation, Master Group Sport, Ovidius University Costanza (Romania), Olympiakos Multisport Team, Handball Department and Italian Federation L’Orma.

The main objective of the programme, which will run for 36 months, is the spread of handball through the development of common models to increase participation in the sport, especially among young people.

At the same time, the project aims to explore best practices in the education of coaches at European and national level in both handball and other sports.

In addition, there is an international trainer course that is jointly trained at European level. There are also local activities such as coaching courses and youth activities.
