Tiivistelmä
This thesis is a functional thesis. The purpose of the thesis is to produce a plan for a hybrid Chefs de Mission Seminar for European Youth Olympic Festival 2022 Vuokatti. The commissioning party Kainuun Liikunta ry is one of the main organisers of European Youth Olympic Festival 2022 Vuokatti. The event will take place in March 2022 with nearly 2000 participants from 46 European countries. The athletes compete in nine different sports. Chef de Mission is a title usually used in Olympic family of events to describe the National Olympic Committee delegation leader.
An introductory Seminar is held for the Chefs de Mission. This thesis covers the most important aspects to consider when hosting a hybrid Chef de Mission Seminar for an Olympic family event by reviewing some of the theory behind the event, the roles of Chef de Mission and the Seminar, and modern event management. The production process based on this theory review concentrates on two guiding questions, first of which is what the best way is to organise a seminar to prepare the participants for the main event of European Youth Olympic Festival. The second question concentrates on what kind of content is needed to achieve the goals of the Seminar, i.e. that the participants get to know each key person in the Organizing Committee and get an understanding of how the EYOF event will unfold.
The final product is a hybrid Chef de Mission Seminar plan for EYOF 2022 Vuokatti that consists of three parts: the regulations from the European Olympic Committees of what the Seminar is expected to entail, an invitation to the Chefs de Mission with a preliminary programme, and detailed seminar plans for the Organizing Committee to follow.
