Call for Participation | Human Rights Impacts of the Olympic Games and the Necessity of Reform – CCSE Online Talks 3 | November 27, 2024, 2–3pm CET
This event, following the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, brings together actors working on local and global scale to consider the future of mega-events. In particular, the debate will focus on some of the challenges associated with contemporary mega-events and why change is necessary. We will then move into a discussion of radical solutions for how they should change in the future – including whether such events should continue to exist at all. Finally, we will discuss the role of civil society in pushing for this change and how we can all contribute to developing more sustainable mega-events.
