News about the project
Faces of the Olympics!
Following Europeana XX, a MuPop pop-up Exhibition about the 125 years of the Olympics, partners from Europeana Sport would like to preserve some of the stories of the pop-up exhibition, and what better way to do it than to transform it into an online exhibition on Europeana! In order to make broaden the scope and make this a truly pan-European exhibition, partners worked on valorizing European faces of the Olympics by showcasing heroes and stories from different countries.

Engaging the public with Europeana Sport events
Since April 2021, the Europeana Sport project has held 13 events inviting the public across Europe to share their stories, memories and memorabilia relating to sport. 10 of these events were held in-person. Project partners shared their experience of engagement from the public and reflections on running in-person events during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through flexibility and adaptability, this year, 10 in-person eventswere able to take place in France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain and the United Kingdom. Events were held in libraries, museums, archives, online, at a sporting event, in a school and at a stadium, and when the public health situation allowed.
Collection day in Polangis - September 2021
We were lucky enough to do our Collection Day at the School Polangis on the 23rd of September, in Joinville-le-Pont, a suburb near Paris. It was thrilling to listen to all the stories of these pupils, how they won cups and medals for some, and how they couldn't achieve their goals and learned a lesson for the others. The children were very invested in this project, they started to think andwrite their stories a few weeks back. Afterproofreading from the teacher and corrections, they presented them in front of the class, or the teacher read theirs for the shy ones, and they also showed us the object they had brought for the occasion. We really appreciated this shared moment about sports!
ONLINE WORKSHOPS – in April 2021
In the framework of the Europeana Sport project, Michael Culture is co-organising with Europeana two online workshops about Copyright and sports related data.
The first one, "Copyright in the aggregation of sports content" will be on Thursday 1 April (10:30 - 12:00 CET). During this workshop, we will explore the principles that guide how to deal with copyright when sharing data with Europeana, and we'll put them into practice. The focus will particularly be on sports-related material.
The second one, "Copyright in the user contribution of sports content" will be on Wednesday 7 April (10:30 - 12:00 CET) and will focus on collection days and use of sport material on social media. During this workshop, we will explore the copyright considerations of sharing data with Europeana gathered through collection days. Unlike the first workshop, this one will have a strong focus on the Terms for User Contributions that need to be respected in this framework. By working with examples of sports-related materials, we will put these principles into practice.
The two workshops are open to the Europeana Sport project partners and other institutions interested in aggregation of online sport collections. If you are interested in participating and learning about legal aspects of working with sport heritage, we strongly encourage you to register to both workshops.
