Seminar on “Promoting
intercultural dialogue : the role of sport and education
in the Balkan region”
This event, which took place the 22nd
October in Belgrade brought together public
authorities representing Ministries of Sport of the
countries from the Balkan region and NGOs that promote,
through educative and sports activities, anti-racism and
intercultural dialogue in these countries. Exchanges of
experiences will lead to increased public support for
initiatives carried out at grass roots level in this
field.
The discussions demonstrated the social relevance of
sport in the Balkan region, e.g. to fight against
violence at school. As regards communication between
different stakeholders, the seminar provided a good
starting point. There is indeed a great need to
reinforce the relations between NGOs and ministries.
