09 Oct 26
2) Consultation: Sports, Ageing and Racial Discrimination – Implications for the Right to Health
Our second event, on 9 October, is a consultation on Sports, Ageing and Racial Discrimination – Implications for the Right to Health.
The consultation will explore how racial discrimination affects participation in sport across the life course, with a particular focus on:
- The experiences of racialized older persons in sport in the EU and their implications for the right to health;
- The systemic barriers and challenges within sport that hinder the participation of racialized older persons in the EU; and
- The relevance and impact of intergenerational experiences of discrimination and inclusion in sport.
The consultation will also contribute to developing recommendations on how EU initiatives on anti-racism, sport and healthy ageing – including the 2027 European Week of Sport – can better address the intersection of ageism and racial discrimination, and its impact on the enjoyment of human rights by racialized older persons.
It will also feed into the 2027 High Commissioner for Human Rights report on sport and racism.
