Summary/Abstract: During the four-months internship, I had the opportunity to gain experience in the sport department of Jyväskylä. This department like in the cities in Czech Republic provides sports activities for citizens and takes care of sport facilities in Jyväskylä. The department is responsible for applied physical activities and health enhancing activities for citizens of all ages and physical capability (children, seniors, disabled people and people with chronical illnesses) and also for people at risk of social exclusion (the unemployed, immigrants). The department employs 20 instructors, 30 peer instructors and 80 part time instructors, who organize the activities for citizens.
