EVENTS & TRAINING FORUMS
One of the primary focal points for the EventRights project was to provide opportunities for early stage and more experienced colleagues to learn from each other across the duration of the project. Additionally, we also wanted to bring academic partners into dialogue with a range of stakeholders from the sport (event) and human rights landscape. Over the course of the last few years, we have hosted the following online and in-person events and training forum events:
