Sports & territories Forum
The Role of Sports in Society
For the third consecutive edition, the Sports & Territories Forum took place as part of the the Sports and Parasports Show at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
This event is aimed at professionals and technicians working across all areas of sport, staying close to the realities of local territories.
Its purpose is to bring together visions, skills, and expertise, fostering interaction between public, associative, and private stakeholders, and encouraging reflection and the convergence of energies to serve physical and sports practice and its participants.
Four key themes took centre stage in the programme, each explored through plenary sessions addressing major challenges and priorities:
OPENING PANEL DISCUSSION – Towards a 360° Vision for Sport Ahead of the Presidential Election?
With elections approaching, this panel discussion will bring together leaders from major national sports organisations to explore the role of sport in public policy.
Attractiveness, health, education, inclusion and local development: how can sport be recognised as a valuable investment in society?
CONFERENCE 1 – Turning Your Local Area into a Hub for Sport: What Approach Should You Take?
How can local authorities develop a coherent sports facilities strategy tailored to their area’s needs?
From assessing needs and planning investment to identifying funding sources, this conference will present a practical, replicable approach, drawing on the expertise and best practices of professionals working on the ground.
CONFERENCE 2 – Making Parasport an Integral Part of Local Sports Strategies
How can local sports policies fully embrace participation by people with disabilities?
This conference will explore terminology, practical tools and best practices to make sporting opportunities more accessible to everyone, while building stronger connections between stakeholders for the benefit of participants.
CONFERENCE 3 – French Alps 2030: A New Era for the Olympic Movement Across France?
With just four years to go until the French Alps 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, this conference will explore the opportunities for local communities: the Games’ legacy programme, collective engagement, environmental considerations, sports facilities and accessibility in winter sports.
The aim is to ensure that these Games generate momentum across the whole country, extending well beyond the host regions.
