- Copenhagen, Denmark
This course in Copenhagen, Denmark builds on excursions to Danish
Olympic and National Sport Organizations to illustrate the ideals
behind the International Olympic Movement. The first half of the
course will focus on sport law, national sport policy, and how
international perspectives differ from those in the U.S.A. The second
half will focus on the psychology of sport, specifically youth sport
and ways in which youth experiences support and often undermine the
Olympic ideals for sport. We will also explore the distinct culture of
the city through a tour by bike. Since it is the capital of Denmark,
Copenhagen is home to many Danish national sport organizations, which
provides for ample opportunity to build international connections.
Lonely Planet voted it the #1 city to visit in 2019 and serves as a
hub to the rest of Europe.
