The event, held during the Spring Meetings, brought together experts and stakeholders in the snow sports community to discuss human rights issues. Invited speakers included Adam Hall, Mathilde Grenet, Eddie Marshbaum, and Ken Read, as well as FIS specialists like Alexandra Blum and Andrea Rinaldi. During the first session, FIS specialists joined external speakers to lead discussions on the topic. Cornelia Blank, FIS Education Project Manager, and Daniela Lux from UMIT Tirol also shared their insights with participants.
The idea for such an event was sparked by a survey conducted by FIS with NSAs that highlighted the need to address human rights issues in snow sports. The collaboration across various FIS departments was evident in the participation of individuals like Fiona Stevens, Michel Vion, and Susanna Sieff at the seminar. The event aimed to raise awareness and foster collaboration among stakeholders in the snow sports community.
