Why and how to take action against discrimination?
You are a diverse sports club and want everyone to feel welcome, no matter where they come from or what skin color, sexual orientation or gender? Is sexism, homophobia or racism an issue with you? You want to open up to broader populations? If one or the other of these applies, then the fairplay trainings are right for you: in one and a half hours we create awareness and work out concrete steps for a more diverse sports club together with you.
The fairplay trainings are short and concrete – in 1.5 hours the topics of discrimination and inequality in sports, as well as the importance of diversity in the club and the challenges and potentials that come along with it are discussed.
Goals
The basic training courses create awareness, take responsibility for associations and provide them with tools. And all of this is done in dialogue with and with the involvement of the participants’ experiences.
The fairplay trainings are intended to empower sports clubs and their protagonists (officials, trainers, athletes) to act independently and to expand their repertoire of actions in order to counteract exclusion and conflicts. For a club where everyone feels welcome – as players, volunteers, fans, parents or coaches!
