The Danish FA to welcome the ACCESS project partners for their local multiplier event
Late September will see a milestone meeting of the project partners before the project enters its final eight months – coupled with a local dissemination event in Brondby, Denmark.
The project meeting on 24 September, reserved for the six project partners – ACR+, Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, GAA, FC Porto and the Danish and Welsh FAs will have to ensure that the remining tasks and actions are completed before May next year when the project reaches its end. A workshop will take place on the same day, as an extension of the Community Engagement and Outreach training module which took place in Dublin in April. The day after will allow a wider Danish audience to discover the latest developments, milestones and results the project and its partners achieved.
As confirmed by the hosts – the Danish FA, the local dissemination event will take place on 25 September in the city of Brondby, at the premises of the Danish Sport Federation and the Danish Olympic Committee. It will serve as a great opportunity for showcasing the work of the Danish Circular City Committee which was set up as under the ACCESS framework and which not only put forward an Action Plan but also started implementing it and running relevant pilot action with their local and regional stakeholders. The fact that the city of Brondby also hosts the Danish Sport Federation and the Danish Olympic Committee will certainly add up to the attractiveness and the dynamic of the event, having relevant speakers sharing their own experiences and initiatives as well as allowing the ACCESS project to reach out to a wide network of sport organisations and practitioners in sports and environment.
Speakers will include Paul Broberg, the Danish Sport Federation’s Head of Public Affairs, Sanne Stephensen, the Head of Sustainability at Roskilde music Festival, Ann Lykke Davidsen, the Danish Handball Association’s Communication Director, as well as representatives of the Brondby municipality. Participants are expected to attend the event on behalf of local football federations, municipalities included in the Welfare Alliances and the Danish Ministry of Culture.
A discussion panel on community engagement will take place on the same day, facilitated by Christian Kierkegaard, a strategy consultant.
The topics and the focus of the event will certainly reflect the phase the ACCESS project is in and put a highlight on community engagement and outreach, as well as cross-sectoral cooperation. The day will be enriched by a study visit to Brondby FC’s facilities and discovering their own initiatives and good practices.
