World Cup 2014: Let's Get Serious about Youth in Soccer
Global excitement, anticipation, and pride are mounting with the 2014 World Cup getting underway in Brazil this week. But the significance of soccer (or football, the world over) and sport go well beyond the stadiums. Around the world, it is being used as a unique and flexible tool to promote multiple aspects of youth development, girls empowerment, and peace. Please join us for a timely roundtable conversation on the opportunities and challenges for soccer in supporting young people, and promoting gender equality and social progress.
