Introduction

The courses in the “Sports Culture and Development Cooperation” were established in close cooperation with the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee (NIF), and in line with the change in Norwegian sports assistance/aid.
The major change from material and financial aids to measures that emphasize on strengthening competence building and knowledge exchange will be relevant for this course. Against this backdrop, the course also covers topics such as international sport for development and peace, sport and integration, as well as monitoring and evaluation, gender and disability issues in sport for development and peace to mention a few.
The course is currently open to all students who want more knowledge about “Sport, Culture and Development Cooperation”. The course is for students who are prepared to travel to and work with sport organizations in southern Africa as “sport volunteers”, or who want to learn more about the relationship between sports, development and peace work.

Learning outcomes

The objectives of the teaching curriculum are:

  • To provide students with a foundation for working with sports and physical activity in other cultures.
  • To increase students’ knowledge of national and international aid policies and principles of development cooperation.
  • To provide students with a cultural understanding with a focus on the opportunities and limitations sports and physical activity have in this context.
  • Give students prior knowledge to write the final project assignment. It will be focused on both the physical exercise and voluntary sport in schools.

Learning styles and activities

The teaching is conducted as a combination of teacher-led and student-centred group work with subsequent plenary discussions. It is advantageous that the students have read the curriculum before the introductory course. Teaching will also be given for the final project assignment.

Assessment

Reflecting on the various topics taught for the course, there will be a 14-day home exam which entails a maximum of 4000 words. The grading ranges from A-F.
