For the first time during EuroGames, they will host a conference for 200 sports leaders. The Sports Leader Conference will take place Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 August 2021 and has two key purposes: to empower LGBT sports clubs in Europe and to foster more inclusivity in the athletic community.
There will also be a public programme, Sports to the People, which includes a number of drop-in sports for all the people living and visiting EuroGames 2021. These could for example include Drag Olympics, Rainbow family sports, Roller-skating through the city, Bicycle workshops, Skiing on the Copenhagen ski slope and many more fun sports events.
