The Conference, set to take place on December 10 and 11, will include a number of renowned experts in their respective field, whether that be handball-specific or not. Through the diverse programme, the EHF aims to provide a comprehensive two days of education that will significantly enhance the knowledge of all participants. All presentations will fall into one or a combination of the following categories: Grassroots, leadership, operations, and coaching. There are also specific themes identified to guide the topics with a big-picture approach to assisting the growth of women’s handball. The programme includes lectures on the main stage, breakout sessions and panels.
One of the first breakout sessions on the agenda will be that of Secretary General of the Belgian Handball Federation Dries Boulet, whose presentation is titled “Hand 2 Girls — a new form of handball: Two-a-side to increase the entry of young girls.” Boulet’s presentation falls into the grassroots category and is under the core theme “She plays handball — approaching the new generation.” Boulet will present on day one of the Conference.
