EPAS held its third consultation webinar with members of its Governing Board (member state representatives from Ministries responsible for Sport) and its Consultative Committee (sports movement) to make further progress on revising the European Sports Charter.

Alexandre Husting, Chair of the EPAS Governing Board, opened the meeting and reminded the participants of the main elements emerging from the exchanges and the adopted Resolution from the recent Ministerial Conference, that were relevant revising the Charter.

He said “We all work for a sport that will remain accessible for all and that is not just a simple entertainment to be commercialised. Together, public authorities and the sports movement have an important role to play to protect and promote it.”

The workshop split into three breakout groups, each one focusing on an important aspect of the Charter: the features of the European sport framework and how it is organised, the implementation tools that can be created to help public authorities put the Charter into place at national level, and the methods that EPAS could use to monitor the Charter’s implementation.

The outcomes from the breakout groups will now be fed into the Draft3 version of the revised Charter that will be produced in April 2021.
