The Meeting is set to contribute to the wide national, European and international ongoing dynamics of strengthening the policies and actions which use sports as a leverage for social inclusion in disadvantaged contexts, sectors and territories.
This within the framework of the revised UNESCO Charter on Physical Education, Physical Activity and Sports adopted on 2013 at MINEPS V in Berlin and of its implementation process favored at international level by the Kazan Action Plan adopted at MINEPS VI.
The Meeting represents a follow-up passage immediately connected to MINEPS VI and will be very much focused on operational know-how exchange and info-sharing for action plans, with special reference to Theme II Maximizing the contributions of sport to sustainable development and peace.
At Italian national level it represents a momentum to foster and strengthen the emerging private-public cooperation mechanisms in this field through a dedicated National Forum.

A strong connection between policies to promote Rule of Law and policies to foster development through social inclusion is a qualifying factor of the Meeting.
