Council of Europe (z.j.)

Website van “the Council of Europe” over sport. The Council of Europe is active on two fronts to maintain the integrity and the virtues of sport, the first of which was emphasised at the second summit: – promoting sport for all as a means of improving the quality of life, facilitating social integration and contributing to social cohesion, particularly among young people; – fostering tolerance through sport and defending sport against the serious threats currently facing it. The Council of Europe is involved in these specific fields because it regards sport as important for the example it sets, for the part it plays in society and for the contribution it makes to the health of the population.
