Seminar examines sectarianism in sport
Experts from across the world were converging on Belfast today to discuss ideas on how to rid Northern Ireland of sectarianism in sport.
The seminar is being jointly organised by the Irish Football Association (IFA) who have recently used their Football For All campaign as a way of stamping out sectarianism at local international soccer matches.
Conference speakers include Helen Miller of the Glasgow-based group Nil by Mouth, Professor Jay Croakley from the University of Colorado and Jennifer Hargreaves from London's Brunel University.
The conference is part of the Community Relations Council's (CRC's) Community Relations Week.
