EventRights
Addressing inequality, enhancing diversity and facilitating greater dialogue in the hosting of sporting mega events
The EU-funded project entitled EventRights seeks to explore, and share knowledge, on the extent to which the landscape of major sport events can be improved to ensure a progressive, rights-focused agenda is pursued by awarding organizations, host governments and implemented in the formal institutions tasked with organizing these events. The project will produce recommendations as to how major sport events organizing committees, awarding bodies, and the states can be mandated to ensure that opportunities to address inequality, enhance diversity and facilitate greater dialogue are enshrined in the planning, delivery, and legacy plans for the events themselves.
