Sport and Development Initiatives: ´What difference can they make?´
‘Sport & Development’ refers to the use of sport as a tool for development and peace:*
Actors in sport, academia, private sector, non-profit and non-governmental organisations, government agencies, UN agencies and international organisations, the media, the general public as well as young people are increasingly interested in the potential of sport as a tool to reach personal, community, national and international development objectives.
The Danish perspectives on Sport and Development have evolved around the Danish Network for Sport and
Development (NSD). Now is the time to address some strategically important issues in Sport and Development!
The aims of the conference are

• To provide and discuss state of the art in knowledge about Sport and Development for Danish as well as international target groups.
• To create a platform for networking, partnership building and sharing experience in the field of Sport and Development

Topics

The conference will address present Sport and Development challenges with a starting point in four key issues:

• From “Sport Plus” to “Plus Sport”**
• Measuring Sport and Development
• The Role of Voluntarism in Sport and Development Projects
• New partnerships in Sport and Development
