Games, power, and responsibility: what does the World Cup reveal about how we govern global sport?
With the world's biggest sporting event on the horizon, this edition of the #Think&Drink will explore the intersection of #sport and (geo)politics: the role of sports organisations like FIFA, sport as a political instrument, athlete expression, and sports’ potential to foster social cohesion.
We're delighted to welcome two speakers offering complementary perspectives:
- Guido Battaglia: Head of of Partnerships and Institutional Affairs & Head of Geneva Office at the Centre for Sports & Human Rights (CSHR)
- Second speaker to be confirmed (:
Together, we'll discuss:
- How can sport be a genuine tool for social cohesion, dialogue, and peace?
- What does responsible governance in sport look like, which actors are and should be involved?
- How can we harness the unique power of sport as a social force, while addressing issues of power imbalances and lack of accountability?

Speak to the media with confidence, even under pressure.
Whether you are giving an interview, pitching an idea, or responding to critical questions, knowing how to communicate with journalists is a key skill to have in the foreign policy universe.🗣️ In this interactive skills-building workshop, you will learn how journalists think, what they need, and how to position yourself as a clear and credible source.📝
Through practical inputs from an experienced journalist and media trainer and hands-on exercises, you will develop tools to answer difficult questions concisely without falling into common traps. You will be able to implement these in a practical exercise and take home your very own media cheat-sheet for future interviews or tv and radio appearances. All of this with a sandwich break included.🥪
We’re looking forward to seeing you there!💫
