When Sport Breaks Down The Barriers

b_320_0_16777215_00_images_news_2018_Congresso_Sportmeet_2018_LOGO-LIMITE2The role of sport in breaking down many of today’s barriers, whether they be psychological, relational, cultural, social or environmental. By its very nature, sport is a place for facing limits. Why does sport turn out to be such a good terraine for reconciling with our limits, and for experiencing inclusion, integratation and breaking down barriers? Where does the magic lie? In tune with Sportmeet’s mission, these are some of the important topics that will be examined, through cultural reflection, testimonies and practical workshops, and dialogue with people who are actively involved in significant ways in and around the city of Rome.
