Article The Making of Football Diplomacy: A Case Study of a Sports Official from Türkiye(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Erturan-Ogut, Esin Esra; Pamiroglu, CemThis study employs an exploratory single case design to investigate whether an international sport official can perform the functions of sport diplomacy: communication, negotiation, and representation. It explores the mechanisms and outcomes of such engagement. Focusing on & Scedil;enes Erzik, a long-serving executive in UEFA and FIFA, the study examines how such actors operate within institutional sport structures while intersecting with broader diplomatic processes. The findings suggest that sport diplomacy can advance national visibility and soft power objectives, particularly through international representation and branding. Erzik's involvement in peace initiatives, informal mediation in politically sensitive matches, and participation in joint tournament bids demonstrates how sport officials may serve as facilitators of diplomatic communication. The case further illustrates that sport diplomacy, when driven by individual initiative, can align with national foreign policy goals. While limited in generalizability, the study contributes to understanding sport diplomacy's practical functions and its informal and personalized diplomatic mechanisms.Article Nonviolent Communication in Lifelong Education(Hacettepe Univ, 2023) Baban, Ece; Erdinc, Ece Dogan; Doğan, Ece; Doğan Erdinç, EceIn today's world, the increase of othering and xenophobia with acts of violence, along with the changes that consume resources due to climate changes such as wars, irregular migration movements, famine and thirst, are an important necessity for understanding nonviolent communication and its application in the field of lifelong education. This requirement brought the problem of "adult education" to the agenda and accelerated the studies on the lifelong learning approach. In addition, key messages developed by UNESCO and the European Commission defined the characteristics that the lifelong learning approach should have. Within the scope of the study, the concept of nonviolent communication explained, and the "Make a Gesture Your Opponent" campaign, which includes nonviolent communication training for Turkey Football Federation first league teams, examined. Within the scope of the study, the "Make a Gesture to Your Opponent" campaign was determined as a case study. Accordingly, the official website of the campaign was examined. As a result of the analysis carried out in line with the key messages, the nonviolent communication approach that the "Make a Gesture Your Opponent" project wanted to instill in its participants shows how important education is in all areas of life.
