Over 30 participants, three days of discussions, and invaluable insights – our second DCO Seminar in Kraków was a resounding success!
From March 28-30, the Cracow University of Economics became a hub for discussions on the future of athletes and #DualCareer model. The AFTERMATCH 2.0 Reload project brought together representatives from sports organizations across Poland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Azerbaijan for an intensive three-day workshop. The event focused on the needs of athletes and sports organizations, exploring pathways to successfully combine sports careers with education and professional development.

A highlight of the seminar was the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, including:
🔹 Monika Kukla – student, athlete, and bronze medalist at the AMP Football World Cup;
