In the final interactive workshop as part of the Innovation Series, host Lucy Mills wants to do something a bit different. In this session, she’s inviting a totally open floor to come and discuss and debate what we think the future of sport for development will look like.
In the past 5 years, sport for development has undergone a period of accelerated transformation. We have experienced an era marked by pandemic recovery, climate instability, and technological advancements. Amid all this change, disruption and uncertainty, it has catalyzed renewed optimism and energy about the role of sport in society and our planet.

In this “open discussion and debate” there are no wrong answers! We might touch on some emerging and influential aspects of the sector, like:
- Organizational culture and agility
- Cross-sector and multi-level engagement
- Social entrepreneurship
- Digital and technological application
- Knowledge and evaluation systems
But you also might have your own views and experiences on what you think are the biggest forces, trends, and opportunities for sport for development.
