We are delighted to announce that the kick-off event of the #Morethanfootball Action Weeks 2018 will take place on 21st and 22nd of March at the famous stadium Parc des Princes, home ground of Paris Saint-Germain.
The Opening Ceremony will be part of the 10th Conference of the European Football for Development Network. The conference that will be centred around the topic #Morethanfootball provides a platform to exchange knowledge and best practices about football-based Community and Social Responsibility programmes.
Holding the kick-off event at the 10th #Morethanfootball Conference provides an outstanding opportunity to highlight the wider impact of CSR in European football. At the Opening Ceremony leading Figures of the World of Football in CSR will be in attendance to support the fantastic work of European club football. Next to that, the event constitutes a call-to-action for all clubs around Europe to keep further developing the transformative power of football to change lives.
