Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, the student: - possesses knowledge and competencies related to the intervention of the State and territorial entities, both public and private, in social and socio-sport contexts - has an understanding of public welfare policies and the role of private entities in the promotion and management of sports for individuals with disabilities - is capable of managing the organizational aspects of a sports organization operating in this context.

Course contents

The course aims to analyze and explore the most significant aspects of welfare instruments in relation to sports practice, as well as sports activities for individuals with disabilities from an inclusive perspective. It will examine the constitutional principles and legal provisions underpinning the complex national and regional legislative framework, along with key international regulations. Additionally, the course will consider doctrinal developments and judicial rulings that have contributed to shaping and enriching the regulatory framework.

Particular attention will be given to the evolution of the concept of welfare, the principle of subsidiarity, and the actors responsible for implementing welfare policies in the sports sector. The course will also explore the role of the third sector in sports, the rights of persons with disabilities, competitive sports for individuals with disabilities, and the regulation of inclusive sports activities.

Relevant legislation, policies, procedures, and practices will be analyzed.

Teaching methods

The teaching methodology will be structured into lectures and supplementary activities designed to foster student engagement.

During the lectures, a systematic exposition of the topics covered in the course will be conducted, following the syllabus outlined above. This will be followed by an in-depth examination of specific themes, including aspects for which students have expressed particular interest.

Attendance at lectures is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the subject, although the exam topics are covered in the recommended bibliographic texts.

Assessment methods

The lectures will be held during the second semester; therefore, students who obtain a certificate of attendance will be eligible to take the examination starting from the following June.

The assessment consists of an oral examination.

The examination will cover topics related to those outlined in the "Programme and Contents" section.

The evaluation of the examination will take into account the following criteria:

• knowledge of institutional aspects;
• ability to analyze judicial and doctrinal perspectives;
• capacity to establish connections between different parts of the programme;
• ability to develop critical arguments;
• coherence and structure of the presentation;
• accuracy of the exposition.

The verification of the expected learning outcomes takes place during the examination, which is designed to assess the achievement of the intended educational objectives. The exam consists of an oral discussion on the topics covered in the course syllabus.

For indicative purposes only, the final grade will be assigned based on the following criteria:

• Sufficient or slightly more than sufficient knowledge of the topics covered, limited critical capacity, difficulty in using legal-technical language → 18-21;

• Fair or rather good knowledge of the topics covered, decent critical capacity, good use of legal-technical language → 22-25;

• Good or more than good knowledge of the topics covered, solid critical capacity, mastery of legal-technical language → 26-29;

• Comprehensive knowledge of the topics covered, excellent critical capacity, full command of legal-technical language → 30-30L.

Teaching tools

As part of the course, seminars and practical exercises could be held, with the relevant dates communicated by the instructor or posted on the designated faculty notice boards, as well as in lecture and office hours rooms.

Slides will be used during the lecture. They facilitate the understanding of the texts and the organization of study materials but do not replace the exposition of topics during the exam.
The slides whose content and topics are essential for preparation are explicitly indicated in the texts/bibliography section.

Students who, due to disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), require compensatory tools may inform the instructor of their needs in order to be directed to the appropriate contacts and arrange the most suitable accommodations
