Empowering tomorrow’s leaders
The youth are not only the future of our societies but are already the present. They create and shape today and tomorrow’s world. It is as essential to transfer knowledge and practical experiences to them as is being able to listen to them. Cities use sport to raise youth awareness on society’s challenges and to involve them and build upon their energy and creativity.
