Introductory recreational facilities

The Nordic countries are at the top of the ranking when it comes to the number of active citizens, which is partly due to a long tradition of well-organized sports associations. However, there are still well over 1/3 of the population who may not see themselves in the existing sports communities or who, for other reasons, are not active. How do we get more of the citizens that are not accustomed to sports involved and engaged in recreational activities? Should we build more of the same, or supplement with other types of facilities and perhaps think across sectors? How can the facility contribute in organizing the activity and help lower the barrier to participation?

Participating: Mike Lawless, Director, LA architects, Lisa Mari Watson, Managing Director, Tverga. Moderator: Ola Mattsson, Development Consultant, The Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities.

The seminar is held in English.
