Topic of European Week 2022: Sport and social impact
Sport encourages a healthy lifestyle, fosters and promotes integrity and social cohesion as well as a shared sense of belonging.
Sport is also an essential part of the European identity and an integral part of the economy, employing millions of European citizens.
The CIVICA European Week 2022 aims to raise students’ understanding and awareness of the pivotal role of sport and of its social impact on individuals, communities and the society as a whole.
The theoretical part will be presented by the Bocconi faculty as a background, while the priority will be given to engagement and interaction with local partner organizations and hands-on projects.
Participants will have the chance to fully grasp the power of sport in fostering and improving social development, inclusion and advancement both at the individual and community level, while understanding the typical dynamics of sports business and management.
