What a great afternoon session unpacking Sport and PVE programming: looking at key considerations for developing interventions. Think Gender, Think Youth ,Think Context @UNODC

"in terms of terminology, it's about finding the balance in application for different stakeholders in the Sport and PVE space." @DanaPodmolikova

[Dr. Lin Sambili Gicheha @RuriSambili]

Thanks Prof @Ramon_Spaaij lots of very key insights to include into the final guide! Especially around providing counter narratives; alternative discourses & appreciating small successes.

The smiles should tell it all. Thank you very much @RobinHart_DP for the opportunity to share our ideas and action points for sport towards the SDGs #WiltonPark #SportSDG

[Dr. Lin Sambili Gicheha @RuriSambili]

Thanks Iain! You left us with much to think about on where the SDP sector is going in terms of partnerships #SDGsSport

[Dr. Lin Sambili Gicheha @RuriSambili]

It's been refreshing to see the term partnerships being unpacked and questioned today. It's critical for the successful delivery of sport towards the SDGs. #SportSDG @WiltonPark

[Dr. Lin Sambili Gicheha @RuriSambili]

There is general consensus on sport's unique ability to humanise development and build agency. The next step is to capitalize on this goodwill for those that need it the most in order to achieve the SDGs. It can be done. #SportSDG @WiltonPark

[Dr. Lin Sambili Gicheha @RuriSambili]

Excellent& thought provoking questions already being raised on Day 1. Excited to be here and to contribute to the conversation and action. #SportSDG
