Programma

The European Union’s main aim is to improve citizens’ living conditions, and the people’s well-being is not just about economic aspects: nowadays, the “social” aspects of living conditions are the frontier theme in the EU, especially as to services. So what about services concerning leisure time, which is so relevant in people’s lives– especially in the areas of sports and tourism?

Many Universities all over the world offer courses in Tourism and Sports Management, and the University of Turin, a city which has become familiar to the public worldwide thanks to the Winter Olympics 2006, has followed this example. But there is more to tourism and sports than management, marketing, advertising… there are rules. In order to grant tourists enjoyment of their trips, there must be rules to shape them, just as any good game needs strong rules to make it fun.

This course explores rules which organize leisure activities in Europe, bearing in mind that recently the Lisbon Treaty has introduced an EU competence to support Member States’ tourism and sports policies. It is about finding out which general EU policies have an impact on tourism and sports; which relation there is between the rules of National Federations and EU rules; what happens if anything goes wrong – the package holiday is different from what was promised, there is an accident during a sports competition, a sports event doesn’t turn out as well as expected…

The “EU Leisure Law” course is highly interactive and based on a practical approach, looking at judgments by the European Court of Justice as well as discussing EU documents and strategies for the protection of tourists and athletes and the enhancement of European tourism and sport. It does not require prior knowledge of European Law, or of Law at all, just active curiosity and passion for tourism and sports – and for finding out how they are regulated in the EU context.

Lessons will cover:

• Tourism and Sports in EU Law and Policies
• Package tours, sustainable and competitive tourism
• Tourism services
• International Olympic Committee and EU Law
• Football rules in the EU
• Sports’ liability: athletes’, instructors’, managers’ liability
• The organisation of sports events.
