Sport development in the area of educational structural change

With more than 83000 inhabitants, the city of Minden is a cultural as well as administration and economic center for the county Minden-Lübbecke. Of the 83000 inhabitants, almost 26000 partake in some form of sporting activity at one of the 136 different sport clubs available, an organizational rate of 32.3%. In order to reflect the sports development plan for Minden, the city council launched a scenario project which was presented at an event on the 23rd of June.

A central change which should be examined at the sports development is the educational structural change. Currently, 18 out of 20 schools within the city already have an all-day-program, according to the person responsible, Philipp Koch. As a result, sports halls are occupied until late afternoon and students have little time to partake in sporting activities outside of the school environment. “The different educational environment is the central starting point for the future sports environment”, states Koch, while further questioning: “Who knows whether there will still be clubs in 2020?”

In order to recognize and tackle these issues in a timely manner, a project shall be initiated which consists of a core team, a scenario team and an external team. During this project, external scenarios shall be described and options for future actions developed in the form of strategic scenarios, eventually leading to both future perspectives being linked.
