Are you passionate about movement, creativity, and international collaboration? Join our new course that blends sport and performing arts in a unique way! The course is part of the implementation of an innovative approach to higher education in EHEA – Sport 4 Art and Staging Sport, which involves cooperation between universities from the Czech Republic, Spain, France, and Bulgaria. This programme prioritises inclusion and diversity in all fields of education, training, youth and sport. The focus is on creating and rehearsing a movement-based artistic performance. The final piece will be presented on stage in January 2026. This will enable students both to participate with their best capacity in sports events or to produce such performances themselves. This course is targeting students who love movement, art, and teamwork, and want to try something new in an international setting.
