Anything called a 'Sports Education Forum' was bound to resonate with me, as it brings together three dimensions I care deeply about: π #Sport is a space of passion, performance and shared human experience. π #Education is the continuous exchange of knowledge and perspectives that sharpens mutual understanding. π¬ #Dialogue is what defines a forum - the discipline of listening, engaging, and connecting viewpoints. Speaking at the second Sports Education Forum in #Tbilisi a few days ago was a great opportunity to bring these dimensions together. Many thanks to Johan Cruyff Institute and JBS Academy for the invitation. My intervention focused on three core points: β’ sport carries significant #influence and power; β’ it operates in an environment under growing #pressure; β’ with influence - and in the face of pressure - comes #responsibility. That responsibility, in my view, must be more deliberately embraced by leading actors across the sport #ecosystem - aligned with addressing todayβs most pressing global challenges and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs). π It was a pleasure to reconnect with colleagues and meet new peers in this space of exchange. And finally - Georgian hospitality remains truly exceptional π¬πͺ Lukas Dorda Cristina Pales Levan Akhvlediani George Ivanishvili Geoff Wilson Jeroen van Iersel Nathan Lutch Riveiro Sam Parfitt UrΕ‘a Terdin Edwin van der Sar Tata Chikviladze Marianne Haverkamp Zurab Khizanishvili #SportForGood #SportEducation #SustainabilityLeadership
