On October 21, 2025, the EPAS 2025 Diversity Conference took place — the annual event of the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) of the Council of Europe, dedicated to exploring how sport can promote dialogue and cooperation between young and older generations.
Experts and representatives of European sports institutions discussed inclusion, solidarity, and intergenerational collaboration, with panels focusing on youth engagement, active aging, and sport as a bridge between generations.
During the break, there was also a “walking football” demonstration organized by the Collectivité européenne d’Alsace and the Alsace Football District.
Several best practice projects were presented, and among the speakers and moderators were high-level athletes and former athletes.
Representing Panathlon International, Debora Quercioli and Alexandros Brousiakis participated online.
