This seminar follows up on the written declaration on the importance of grassroots sports. Its purpose is to discuss the importance of making sports available to all citizens: 

children, young people, adults and ageing people; at school, at work, as a recreational activity and through clubs and associations. At the same time, sport is an important tool to promote health and prevent disease. Special emphasis lies on presenting research on the health benefits of recreational team sports. 

The role of the EU in this process will also be discussed.

(followed by a healthy cocktail reception - Room ASP5G1)
