If sport makes Europe

4th September – h 17.30 Palazzo dei Convegni

Sport is a key element at emotional and social level, a multidimensional, dynamic, playful environment, suitable to intensify the awareness of oneself and one’s body; it is an educational and training tool and often a forerunner of social changes.

Main discussion topics that will be covered during the seminar are:

• The identity value of sport, especially in nation building processes;
• Why has the European Union never really invested in sport in terms of identity?
• How could the European Union concretely create symbology,competitions and above all European teams?
• The contribution of individual athletes to the construction of a European identity.
