The Second Round of Workshops – Intense Discussion To The Partial Results

The Second Round of Workshops – Intense Discussion To The Partial Results

In the beginning of November, the project-workshops with the themes ecology, social affairs and economy were going to the second round. The participating experts got the partial results from the project-work beforehand; in this way, it was possible to keep presentation of the actual status of the project short and leave more time for the work in the working-groups.

They really did their name credit.  The participants had intense discussions about the specific subgoals and indicators of the different fields of action for the sustainability of major sport events. The project team developed these subgoals and indicators in the recents months by the help of scientific work and different formats of participation. During the workshops, the project team stayed in the background to admit the valuable input and expertise of the experts.

While the strategic goals and the control areas had the priority in the first round of workshops, in the second round it’s being worked specifically upon the different fields of action with their corresponding indicators as a measurand for goal attainment; there were animated discussions. The actual fields of actions are:

• Waste Material
• Education for Sustainable Development
• Civic Involvement
• Financing and Stability of Expenses
• Health and Wellbeing
• Innovation and Digitalisation
• Light and Noise
• Ressources-Cycle
• Development of Sports and Clubs
• Sports Venues and Infrastructure
• Accommodations
• Traffic
• Catering
• Diversity and Participation
• Water
• Creation of Value

 

„I felt, that the exchange between the different participants was really valuable and we considered a lot of different aspects for the determination of targets and indicators. It was a pleasure for me to contribute with our experience from the area of winter sports and as a small town in the alps.”

The results of the working-groups will be examined by the project team and relevant changes to the fields of action applied. The project team appreciates further suggestions and questions. If there is the need for further support from subject matter experts in the project, the project team will approach the experts again. In the second half of the year 2024, the final symposium with the presentation of the project results will take place.
