The first consortium meeting took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from the 14th to the 16th of February 2019, and focused on establishing good understanding and cooperation between the partners, a crucial aspect when implementing a project of this scale according to all the rules and responsibilities related to European funding.
The core project management team, consisting of Dejan Kontrec (Project Coordinator & General Secretary of IHF Slovenia), Rok Snoj (Project Manager), Haris Muhić (Project Quality Manager), which is complemented with other indispensable associates from various fields, presented Project partner Coordinators with the following topics:
Presentation of Coordination Institution
Legal agreements related to the project (Grant agreement, Erasmus+ Programme guide)
Project Background, Need Analysis, Target Groups, and Objectives
Detailed Project Plan, Work Packages, and Project Activities [PDF]
During the Consortium meeting Project partners presented their organizations, including a brief history of ice hockey in the country, current state of affairs, and key challenges they face. It is important to note that the level of maturity of individual ice hockey Federations in terms of their overall ability to support quality ice hockey development programs is not comparable, however, they all share the challenges in the same areas. The lack of infrastructure turned out to be the greatest obstacle, which prevents them from developing ice hockey in their country. Furthermore, the shortage of professional management, quality coaching staff, and quality officials were also proven to be obstacles all Federations share.
The Consortium Meeting was attended by representatives from:
IHF Slovenia (Dejan Kontrec, Rok Snoj, Haris Muhić)
IHF Bosnia and Herzegovina (Dijana Tokić)
IHF Croatia (Nikola Švigir, Krešimir Švigir, Ivana Teuber)
