International Forum Sports and Development - Economy, Culture, Ethics February 13th - February 15th, 2005 at the Evangelische Akademie Bad Boll
Context
2005 has been declared the International Year for Sport and Physical Education by the United Nations. In light of this, the Akademie Bad Boll, in co-operation with ICSSPE, wants to further promote the discussion process commenced in February 2003 at the Sport and Development Conference held in Magglingen, Switzerland, by asking what the global role of sport is, within ethical reflections.
Main Issues
Issues to be investigated are questions such as whether there is a mainstream understanding of sports, meaning a universal culture standard, and if so, where do the traditional/cultural sports and games belong within this understanding? Comparisons between global economic cycles and global sports development will be made and it will also be discussed whether sport should take social responsbility for global proceedings. How could this look and what are the development possibilities for sport? Another question will be to what extend the "western model" of sport can contribute to education, peace and development, globally. Where are the boundaries? Finally the question will be raised whether sport-ethics agreements can be made in a global context. What could these agreements look like?
Aim
The Akademie Bad Boll and ICSSPE intend to engage representatives from different areas of sport, science, politics and economy, also global acting human rights and non-government-organisations (NGOs), who would usually not come together. This will allow participants to take advantage of competence, knowledge and experiences to closely and objectively contribute to the current international debate on the global role of sport. The organisers also strive to continue the discussion process established by the Development Conference in Magglingen, Switzerland, 2003, for stronger ties within sport in the global development programme. The main themes of Economy, Culture and Ethics will support the second Magglingen Conference, planned for December 2005.
Target group
This conference aims to engage those responsible for sport in a global context. This includes sport and sport science organisations and sports politicians, economical and educational decision makers. Invitation will be extended to these participants via distribution lists of the Akademie Bad Boll, ICSSPE, public media and other partners and associates of the conference.

Mr. Adolf Ogi, Special Adviser to the United Nations Secretary General on Sport for Development and Peace
