Background Behind UniSport ViLA<\/strong><\/p>\n

UniSport ViLA originated as a result of the success of the volunteer program conducted during the European University Games in Zagreb and Rijeka in 2016. The program, called \u201cStudents for Students,\u201d gathered over 1,400 volunteers who, through their commitment and dedication, significantly contributed to the organization of the largest multi-sport event in Europe at that time. Besides impressive numbers and invaluable volunteer experiences, the program was awarded a State Award, and the legacy of that success lives on today through ViLA.<\/p>\n

Moreover, our academy follows the guiding principles of the global university sports association FISU Students Ambassadors and the Volunteers & Leadership Academy (FVLA), in which representatives of HASS and Croatia have participated every year since its inception in 2017.<\/p>\n
