The two-day workshop brought together representatives from international federations to exchange knowledge, share good practices, and discuss how education can support the long-term development of sport. The programme addressed several key areas for international federations, including coach education, coach developer licensing, education benchmarking, Olympic Solidarity opportunities, national federation support, event delivery, and the transfer of successful development practices across sports.
For the ISSF Academy, the workshop provided a valuable opportunity to contribute to the international discussion on the role of education in sport development. Well-structured, accessible, and high-quality education systems are essential for supporting coaches, athletes, national federations, and sustainable growth from grassroots to elite level.

A central message of the workshop was that education is one of the most important development tools in international sport. It is not only a support function, but a key driver of quality, sustainability, and progress. By investing in coach education, clear learning pathways, and cooperation between international and national federations, sport organisations can build stronger and more effective development structures.
The ISSF Academy also valued the opportunity to exchange experiences with other international federations and to explore new ideas for future collaboration. Sharing practical examples and successful models across sports provides valuable insight for the continued development of education systems within the shooting sport community.
