Living well: a socio-environmental approach to sport

Abstract

The 10th International Sportmeet Congress took place in São Sebastião – SP - Brazil, from September 17th to 21st, 2023, with the participation of 100 people from 8 countries. The central theme was ‘Living well: a socio-environmental approach to sport’. Theoretical presentations and local immersion experiences addressed paradigmatic issues, highlighting 'good living' as a lifestyle based on three harmonies (with the person, the community and the collective of life), raising reflections on inconsistencies in the Western world. The search for a new understanding of competition began, aiming to contribute to current economic, social, political and environmental culture.
