Strengthened the training of youth leaders

As part of the effort to attract more young people, DIF has in ‘Future Sports for Children and Young People’ with the support of the AP Møller Foundation launched a talent project to train 800 new young leaders. An education that the young people themselves help to develop.

« We ask the associations to point out young leadership talents ourselves, which we can get ready to kick the door to the association democracy. It is for many younger important that there is an opinion and clearly defined tasks, and perhaps also to a greater extent that they meet recognition. I think it is a welcome call, » said Hans Natorp.
