UEFA SLO Education Programme
The SLO Education Programme provides the tools, knowledge and skills needed to tackle the complex challenges of the job.
Programme overview
The SLO Education Programme was developed in cooperation with SD Europe to offer SLOs the knowledge, skills and tools they need to thrive in this very challenging position. As a modular programme, it can be organised in one workshop of two to four days or two workshops of two days. This flexibility enables national associations to cater to the needs of their local context. Part of the course can be over the weekend to offer part-time SLOs the opportunity to balance it with their professional obligations.
The first day, dedicated to the SLO environment, is mandatory. The host national association can then choose between one and three theme days: communication with stakeholders; working with fans; and SLO soft skills.
Participants are selected by the national association. We recommend a maximum of 12-24 people to ensure the sessions remain interactive and practical. The programme is mostly delivered in the national language to ensure every SLO in the country can benefit from it. Exceptionally, and if requested by multiple national associations, an adapted regional programme can be organised.
