Sport should be equally accessible for all in society. However, marginalized groups, including refugees, migrants, and ethnic minorities – particularly women and girls – face barriers when participating in sport and physical activities.
The Sport Inclusion Network (SPIN) has been formed to address these barriers along with often intersectional dimensions of discrimination such as gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or social status. Our goal is to make full use of sport as a means for social inclusion and integration.
The strength of a network lies in the diversity of its members. Therefore, we call on sport clubs, associations, NGOs, and minority initiatives as well as public institutions to unite for social inclusion in and through sport and join SPIN.
