Sport and Social Cohesion

Join this workshop to learn how sport can contribute to promoting social cohesion both on and off the field.

In particular, this workshop will define the notion of social cohesion, present different ways sport activities and programmes can support social cohesion, and discuss pedagogical concepts underpinning social cohesion activities. In addition, a potential pathway to transfer cohesive behaviours from the pitch to the community will be jointly developed with the participants.

The workshop will take place with a minimum of 10 participants. 

The workshop consists of several modules, include self-study and group assignments.
