Délégation du gouvernement de Catalogne auprès de l'Union européenne

After two years of research, training and implementation, it is now time to wrap-up.The SPEY Final conference will be the last occasion to share about the project findings, barriers faced, and lessons learnt. We will gather policy makers, youth and sport experts and a more generic audience. The conference will give participants interesting insights on how much sport can do to strengthen formal and non-formal education and to prevent extremism in Youth. This conference will also be a dissemination and communication event. We will put forward the role of each partner in the consortium, but more importantly, use the project findings to gather elected officials, academic experts, European’s institution representatives and civil society advocacy groups and have their opinion on the role of sport as a tool to prevent extremism in youth.Agenda09.30 - Registration of the participants09.50 - Inauguration of the Conference by the host organization Sport and Citizenship 10.00 - Welcoming words from Gerard Esteva i Viladecans, president of Union of Sportive Federations of Catalonia, Spain (project coordinator entity)10.15 - Priorities of EU Sport policy and EU sport fundingSpeaker: Marisa Fernandez Esteban, Deputy head of the Sport unit, European Commission (Belgium)10.30 - 10.45 	Presentation of the SPEY project Speaker: Milena de Murga, Psychologist and criminologist, head of International and Social Action departments of the Union of Catalan Sports Federations (Spain).
