On Thursday, June 9, I will be speaking in a panel discussion on Values in Sport organized by Maraton Franja, a cycling race. The round table starts at 8 p.m. in the Crystal Palace (Kristalna palača) BTC City in Ljubljana.
The discussion will revolve around the importance of cultural and sporting values at international sports events. Organizers anticipate “examples of practices from different environment and possible approaches in training children, adolescents and young athletes in the relationship between coaches and supportive environment that works with the athletes.”
The round table is the final event of a week-long workshop entitled, Franja Academy. The initiative, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, aims to develop, share and promote good practices in sport.
Speaking in the discussion will be sport professionals from Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, and Slovenia.
A list of participating speakers, as well as details about the initiative can be found online at http://my.franja.org/ and on Facebook.
