CONFERENCE FOOTBALL AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION IN EUROPE: WHICH
CONFERENCE FOOTBALL AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION IN EUROPE: WHICH OPPORTUNITIES FOR ROMA POPULATIONS? European Parliament 1 Avenue du Président Robert Schuman, 67000 Strasbourg - FRANCE October 9th 2013 16:30 With the support of: Sport and Citizenship, the only European think tank promoting a sport serving society, aims at launching a European civic dialogue in the field of sport thanks to multidisciplinarity and transverse reflections. To do so, it puts sport stakeholders in relation with others, as a wide network gathering governments, sport movement, as well as civil society, academics and the private sector. Its objective is to convince European public and private decision makers of the value of sport based on its social, educational and civic dimensions and to promote a better implementation of sport and physical activity in the society.

While France and the EU made social integration through sport one of their priorities, Sport and Citizenship will organise in partnership with the UEFA and under the aegis of MEP Emine Bozkurt, a panel discussion on: « Football and social integration in Europe: which opportunities for Roma populations? » This roundtable will be organised as a forum for meetings and exchanges between the different European stakeholders of Roma inclusion through sport. The objective will be to identify, through shared experiences, good practices from different European countries, in terms of governance, funding, projects,... in order to propose some avenues for development in this area to the European institutions. It is thus important to open up the reflection by inviting active NGOs on defense and protection of the Roma.
