  1. March 7, 10.30-11.15, Outdoor sports – a completely new situation:
    Outdoor sports are booming – especially when it comes to the adult’s choice of activity. It offers completely new opportunities and challenges, in relation to creating spaces, places to meet and proper facilities in the outdoor. This presents new challenges in planning, support systems and policy decision-making. Practitioners in nature and of sports must find each other in new ways, and the authorities must find the balance between conservation of nature and use of nature.
    Participating: Casper Lindemann, consultant, the National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark
     
  2. March 7, 15.15-16.00, Activating citizens – how cities can face the increasing challenges of inactivity: 
    Learn from Global Active Cities how to develop supportive environments for active, healthy and sustainable lifestyles, using physical activity and sport as a driver.
    Participating: Michael Gross, Secretary General and Global Active City Manager, The Active Well-being Initiative and André Flatner, President IAKS Nordic and Agency Manager City of Fredrikstad. Moderator: Marina Högland, Head of Administration, Sports Director, Stockholms stad
     
  3. March 8, 16.15-17.00, Introductory recreational facilities: 
    The Nordic countries are at the top of the ranking when it comes to the number of active citizens, which is partly due to a long tradition of well-organized sports associations. However, there are still well over 1/3 of the population who may not see themselves in the existing sports communities or who, for other reasons, are not active. How do we get more of the citizens that are not accustomed to sports involved and engaged in recreational activities? Should we build more of the same, or supplement with other types of facilities and perhaps think across sectors? How can the facility contribute in organizing the activity and help lower the barrier to participation?
    Participating: Mike Lawless, Director, LA architects, Lisa Mari Watson, Managing Director, Tverga. Moderator: Ola Mattsson, Development Consultant, The Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities.

So come and be inspired by ours or some of the other seminars and speakers at the Sport summit. Or why not just meet representatives from IAKS Nordic.

HOPE TO SEE YOU IN GOTHENBURG!!
