Two Canadian soccer superstars take the stage to explore sport as a powerful force for international cultural diplomacy, transcending political and social boundaries to build unity, mutual understanding, and national pride. From grassroots initiatives strengthening local communities to world-renowned athletes advocating for social change, and global events like the FIFA World Cup, this dynamic talk aims to reveal how sport can inspire dialogue, connection, and meaningful cultural exchange. A reception will follow, including book sales and signing by the athletes.
Book sales include Playing the Long Game by Christine Sinclair and DeRo: My Life by Dwayne DeRosario.
