Introduction

Despite the existing boom in sport and social cohesion activities, there remain some important gaps to be addressed, such as current definitions and understandings of social cohesion that rarely take into account the needs, expectations, or understandings of the participants on the ground. To address this gap, we edited the book entitled “Sport for Social Cohesion: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives”, which is based on the findings of a European Union funded project called “Sport for Social Cohesion Lab (SSCL)”. The introduction of the book seeks to provide an overview of the three parts of the book and the 15 chapters from 25 (co-)authors across the disciplines and countries.
