Gilles Kepel addressed the situation in Europe after the terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels, as well as their impact on democratic security and on the respect of human rights and freedoms. For Professor Kepel, the radicalisation of Islam is an extremely serious matter. Professor Kepel blames radical Islam and Western elites for creating a fertile ground for the rise of a third-generation jihad. He underlines that “behind the jihadist eruption lies the entrenchment of Salafism … the most radical proponents of which, their eyes fixed on Syria and Daesh, are aiming for the destruction of Europe through civil war”.

It is open to all, regardless of age, language, religion, culture or ability. Sport provides the opportunity to learn to play by commonly agreed rules, to behave with fairness in victory and in defeat, and to develop not only the physical being, but also social competences and ethical values.
