INCLUSION IN SPORT

Inclusion in Sport (iSPORT) project promotes diversity and social inclusion in sport

by enhancing the sporting experience of all participants – athletes and volunteers,

especially targeting women, LGBTIQ+ and people with disabilities, while promoting

equal opportunities and awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical

activity through increased participation in, and equal access to, sport for all.

The project started in 2021
and will conclude in 2023 and
its main goal is to increase
participation of the target
groups in sport competitions
and tournaments. It also aims to
offer the experience of shared
sporting experiences and the
opportunity to learn about the
uniqueness of each other.

There are several main activities
within the project, such as
creation of an online training
that will be developed as a
MOOC, gamifying scenario
playouts as serious game-
based learning, organizing
multiplier sports events, run
by the partners, and making
an overall summary packed
in recommendations that will
have a helpful purpose for
event organisers of multi-profile
sports events.

By far, the partners of the iSport

project had regular partners

meetings, both online and two

in person, in the occasion of the

EURO Games in Nijmegen and

the European Sport Platform

in Arnhem, keeping up the

completion of the tasks, as well

as following the development

of the scenario-based game,

created for educational

purposes.

This Inclusion in Sport project

was presented at the European

Sport Platform, as one example

of best practices, representing

an innovative tool, supporting

inclusion and promoting equal

opportunities.

The project consortium

consists of eight partners from

eight countries, led by the

EUSA Institute (SLO). Project

Non-Governmental Sports

Organisation (SWE), European

Paralympic Committee (AUT),
