Partners of the project Education Model for Parents of Athletes in Academics (EMPATIA) met on October 29 in person in Rome, with some partners attending also online, reviewing the main project outcomes and setting the final tasks before the project officially concludes the end of November.

EMPATIA offers an educational platform for parents and guardians of athletes in education. Useful resource materials are offered within the online education modules in multiple languages and are available through the official website of the project.
