The meeting gathered the whole partnership composed of 9 partners from two continents and provided the opportunity to present the findings from the desk research  and discuss the proposed definition for the new concept of “Grassroots Sport Diplomacy” (GSD). Existing resources and initiatives were also presented to illustrate the concept.All partners contributed actively and the next step will be to test the concept of GSD through a series of consultation with targeted stakeholders involved in the implementation of such initiatives.

EOSE is delighted to be involved in such an innovative project and was represented in Barcelona by Thierry Zintz (President) and Aurélien Favre (Executive Director).

The next partner meeting will be organised on 22-24 November 2018 in Paris (France).
