A coach can teach cooperation by designing a drill in which every athlete has a role. A short discussion after training can help the team reflect on how it handled disagreements or supported a teammate. These are examples of the approach behind VALUES in Action, the national workshop that PASTECHL is organising in Montenegro.
The one-day workshop will begin at 15:00 on Monday, 16 November 2026, in the Amphitheatre at the University of Montenegro’s Faculty for Sport and Physical Education in Nikšić. It is planned for around 40 participants and is intended for coaches, sports club leaders and managers, sports administrators and volunteers.
The workshop is part of Work Package 3 – Capacity Building, led by PASTECHL. In the interactive session, participants will explore how to use everyday training and club decisions to promote ethical leadership, inclusion and athlete development in grassroots sport.
The session will draw on the consortium’s Sport for Values – Training Toolkit for Coaches and Sport Clubs. The toolkit covers six values – respect, diversity, tolerance, fair play, solidarity and cooperation, and environmental awareness. It includes training exercises, questions coaches can use to guide reflection with athletes, and self-assessment tools for coaches and clubs. It also introduces the Sport for Values Quality Mark, a certification framework for grassroots clubs that put these values into practice.
Participants will be invited to give feedback on the session and the training materials. The workshop in Nikšić is one of four national workshops in the programme, alongside those in Slovenia, Serbia and Lithuania.
VALUES (Virtues and Leadership Unlocked through Engaging Sport) is funded by the European Union through Erasmus+ Sport 2025 (Project No. 101245989).
