As 2024 ends so does our @Fest_Connect project! It’s been great working w/ @Spiritof2012 looking at how festivals & events can effectively embed EDI in planning& delivery. Our final output is a film where @NaheedAPP & I reflect on the project ccse.uws.ac.uk/blog/ @CCSE_UWS

As our project comes to a conclusion we’re delighted to release our final output - a film exploring the complex relationship between sport events and human rights eventrights.net/2024/12/11/meg….

Our @EventRights project film comes out tomorrow as FIFA makes its 2030 &2034 announcements. Here’s a taster where @Jujuca1987 @Sport_Rights talks about how athletes are treated. Pls share @gaylemcpherson_ @CMcCloskey11 @jasonbocarro @lmisene @DrAdamTalbot

We’re coming to the end of our funding and will soon be reporting on our achievements over the last few years. Our website is up to date and we’ll soon be publishing our final project film which will include contributions from academic and non academic partners!

Here at CCSE we’re keen to hear from final year undergraduates or those undertaking a Masters if they’re interested in working with us to apply for a PhD studentship in the sport, leisure, tourism areas. More information on our areas if interested here ccse.uws.ac.uk/2024/09/25/ccs…

Travelling football fans should have their human rights protected when enjoying EURO 2024. With @DrConorWilson @CMcCloskey11 I've written for @ConversationUK on how German authorities have protected rights & what that means for visiting fans theconversation.com/euro-2024-why-… @EventRights

Good discussion w/ @SusanEgelstaff & @HDewarSport about all things major sport events, costs, benefits and legacies. The landscape of major sport events is changing w/ innovation & creativity in formats & more emphasis on purpose (or policy)-led approaches. Unclear CWG can adapt

🏞️ Local communities living in cities that host mega sporting events often face abuses such as forced relocation, police brutality and gentrification. Sport governing bodies & event organizers must take steps to avoide these harms & ensure access to remedy. #HumanRights75

As we countdown 75 days to Human Rights Day, we're teaming up with @SportandRights to spotlight the activism of 75 sports stars from around the world. Stay tuned to hear from athletes on the social issues they're fighting for & what they're doing to advance rights for all. #HumanRights75

Sport at its best brings excitement, uncertainty of outcome, and fan/spectator involvement. Glasgow has done a great job today w/ the Mixed Relay para-cycling @UCI_paracycling @CyclingWorlds @Spiritof2012 @CCSE_UWS
