The initiative had the objective of representing the needs of the territories to the European Commission, through Commissioner Micallef, and of launching a shared strategy to strengthen Calabria’s role in national and European sport.
The contributions that emerged during the discussion will be brought to the permanent table on Sport, recently established by councilor Micheli as a place for operational and participatory planning, with particular attention to the dissemination of new disciplines, the promotion of training experiences and the construction of educational paths aimed at young people.
“Sport – he continued – has a fundamental educational function: it teaches discipline, respect, resilience and the value of defeats as opportunities for growth”. A clear message comes from Brussels: Calabria intends to invest in sport as a tool for development, inclusion and social cohesion. “We will continue this path with enthusiasm and responsibility – concluded councilor Micheli – counting on the support of president Roberto Occhiuto, who particularly cares about the future of Calabria and the construction of a narrative based on real and positive results”.
