Panel Discussion
Dear motivated Students!
Shocked by the latest diplomatic news? Does it seem like conventional diplomacy isn’t working anymore? No worries – we will explore together a new tool to address modern challenges.
We are happy to announce that United Nations Youth Association is organizing a Panel Discussion on the topic “Sport for Development and Peace” to present an alternative in these difficult times.
When:
Wednesday, 26th March 2025
17:30 – 20:30
Where:
University of Zurich, KO2-F152
Karl Schmid-Strasse 4, 8006 Zurich
Sport is much more than just competition – it is an alternative to traditional diplomatic approaches, which are increasingly reaching their limits. It connects people across cultural and political boundaries, strengthens social cohesion, and promotes international cooperation.
To raise awareness among motivated students about the central role of sport as an instrument for peace, diplomacy, and sustainable development, we have secured professional guests to share their unique insights with you, including:
• Bettina Junker, CEO, UNICEF Switzerland and Liechtenstein
• Joseph S. Blatter, Former FIFA President
• Julia Lambrecht & Tanya Rütti, CEOs, Scort Foundation
• And many more fascinating guests!
Mark your calendars and join us for this engaging panel discussion!
Expect informative presentations from our speakers, thought-provoking discussions, and an interactive Q&A session, followed by a networking Apero!
Entrance is free! Come and discover the role of sport in peacemaking and development.
Your UNYA Team
