Sport for Development Amidst Global Crisis – The Goal Diplomacy Podcast
About this episode
In the first episode of The Goal Diplomacy Podcast, Nuha Khan sat down with Dr. Ben Sanders, Executive Director at sportanddev, to discuss the role of sport for development in an age of global instability. With over two decades of experience in the sport for development sector, Dr. Sanders champions the idea that while sport does have the ability to bring people together and promote social wellbeing, it is not an inherently positive force. Instead, policymakers and practitioners must foster the correct environments that allow sport to be utilized in a beneficial way. During the conversation, Nuha also asked Dr. Sanders about how sport for development organizations are handling global funding cuts, impact evaluation, career opportunities, and much more.
