The seminar on “EU Sport Diplomacy: Perspectives of Cooperation with International Organisations” is organised by the ERASMUS+ project “Promoting a Strategic Approach to EU Sport Diplomacy” (EUSD) together with the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) which follows up on the work and recommendations of the High-Level Group on Sport Diplomacy set up by Commissioner Tibor Navracsics in 2015-2016. The event is expected to explore how the European Union can, in the field of sport and sport diplomacy, develop meaningful relations with international organisations, specifically the Council of Europe.
Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport
The Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) provides a platform for intergovernmental sports co-operation between the public authorities of its member states. It also encourages dialogue between public authorities, sports federations and NGOs. This contributes to better governance, with the aim of making sport more ethical, more inclusive and safer.

EPAS aims to promote the development of any sport whose benefits are wide-reaching. It develops policies and standards, monitors them and helps with capacity-building and the exchange of best practices.
Different recommendations initially prepared by EPAS have been adopted by the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers. Recommendations such as the European Sports Charter are regularly monitored via support and follow-up visits in member states.
