Aim of the seminar
Today sport is in numerous ways a part of many peoples life, it is constantly in the
public eye. At the same time we see a new interest in the historical developments in
sport with a special emphasis on individual stories. We, as professionals, should be
ready to address ways with which to engage this interest.

The seminar will take place in the city of Tartu, the second largest city of Estonia.
Tartu, the city of good thoughts, is well-known because of Tartu University and
number of colourful museums situated there! The seminar venue will be the
