More informations about the event:
Sport is often positioned as a social good across policy agendas, related to creating or strengthening communities (Spaaij, Oxford and Jeanes 2016), addressing disadvantage (Sherry 2010; Spaaij and Jeanes 2013), tackling mental health (Jeanes, Spaaij and Magee 2019; Smith et al. 2015) and addressing physical health and chronic disease. However, sport has also been understood as contributing to, and at times exacerbating inequalities and human rights infringements which open up questions as to the efficacy of the social good argument. In this symposium, we explore the value of a rights-based agenda for the bidding, planning, delivery and legacy of major and mega sport events, drawing on expertise from the EU-funded EventRights project. We draw on experience from academics, policy makers and sport practitioners across four panel sessions, each with a focus on a different dimension of sport events and human rights.
We look forward to your participation!
