More than 70 participants and presenters from all over Europe joined the 16th European Network of Sport Education Forum in Rome, Italy, on the 21st and 22nd of September 2023.

The Forum offered a space of reflection and discussion on the current societal and educational challenges facing Europe and the broader Mediterranean Basin.

The forum included over 30 presentations, panel discussions, a book presentations as well as a documentary film. The participants generated knowledge and created recommendations that will help both researchers and practitioners alike on the several issues.
