Sport and Citizenship was founded in 2007, shortly after the adoption of the European Commission's White Paper on sport. It is the first and only European think tank which works on the analysis of sporting politics and the study of sport's societal impact. Independent and apolitical, Sport and Citizenship is a forum for new thinking and lobbying which aims to put forward the core values of sport in society, in the realm of politics, economics and media issues. Sport and citizenship advocate the values of common good, independence and expertise. Actions Subjects In the pursuit of multidisciplinary and transverse reflection, it brings together associations, federations, politicians, sportspeople, and academics to enable an exchange of views and an analysis of policies at both European and national member state levels. Sport and citizenship think about societal issues and policies linked to sports which evolve through time and according to what is significant for people. Now it focuses on topics such as gender equity in sports (women’s sports), inclusive sports, sustainable sports, etc. Toward public The journal : each quarter a bilingual (French-English) scientific journal on sport is published by the think tank exploring an important theme of society. The latest ones covered “preventing sexual abuse and protecting people”, “sport and sustainable development” and “The “métiers pluri’elles” project women’s access to sports professions” The roundtables: The association also organizes and takes part in roundtables and conferences which deal with citizenship through sport across Europe: "Conference Sport au féminin" (Conference on Women's sport), "Defending the European Football : ecosystem and tradition" or "Fire+ project conference" Special Publications : the think tank also publishes more substantial thematic studies which constitute a more in-depth analysis of a given topic.
