Sport and Social Cohesion Lab: how sport connects

European cities are changing fast and diversity is increasing. We therefore see a greater call for more social cohesion. Ensuring mutual social cohesion and connectedness is extremely important for the stability, safety and solidarity in cities. Sport can play a major role here: sport connects and brings people together, regardless of their background. The Impact of Sport Research Group is taking part in the European Sport and Social Cohesion Lab (SSCL) to research how sport can provide a positive contribution to social cohesion.
