[:en]ILGA-Europe – the largest and most important umbrella organization in Europe with its 490 media organizations from 45 different countries – has just held its 22nd annual conference in Brussels from 24 to 27 October.
At the conference, good attention was given to sport issues and in particular to Outsport, represented by its coordinator Rosario Coco both in the section dedicated to the presentation of the projects and in a collective workshop titled “Fighting Homophobia in Sport“, held by Annette Wachter, president of EGLSF (the European network of sports associations) in cooperation with Jelena Celebic of the Serbian association Feslam Football, and Pavel Klymenko of Fare network.
The declared scope of the workshop was to address the problem of inclusion of LGBTI people and women in sport, fighting homophobic and sexist biases and pushing sports organizations and institutions to put in place and improve their policies making them effective.
During the presentation Watcher explained the role and the value of the LGBTI associations in the sports field, of EGLSF as a network and of the Eurogames, a European event that next year will arrive in Rome thanks to GAYCS. Celebic explained her organization’s commitment to women’s access to a traditionally male sport like football in the difficult Serbian context, while Klymenko talked about the work of the Fare network against racism and discrimination, in particular through inclusion tools , participation and visibility in major sport events. Lastly, for example the Diversity House during the World Cup in Russia.
Coco has instead had the opportunity to illustrate and discuss the first data emerged from the research on sports and LGBTI people that concluded the data collection last August. The analysis of the responses is still ongoing and will be the subject of the Mid-term Outsport conference scheduled in Glasgow in the coming days.[:it]Dal 24 al 27 ottobre si è tenuta a Bruxelles la 22esima assemblea annuale di ILGA-Europe, la più grande e importante associazione ombrello Lgbti in Europa che raccoglie 490 organizzazioni da 45 diversi Paesi.
Nell’ambito della conferenza ampio spazio è stato dato allo sport e ad Outsport in particolare, rappresentato dal coordinatore Rosario Coco sia nella sezione dedicata alla presentazione dei progetti sia in un workshop collettivo intitolato “Fighting Homophobia in Sport”, tenuto oltre che da Coco anche da Annette Wachter, presidente di EGLSF (il network europeo delle associazioni Lgbti sportive), da Jelena Celebic dell’associazione serba Feslam Football, e da Pavel Klymenko di Fare network.
Obiettivo dichiarato del laboratorio è stato affrontare il problema dell’inclusione delle persone LGBTI e delle donne nello sport, combattendo pregiudizi omofobici e sessisti e spingendo organizzazioni sportive e istituzioni a mettere in campo, migliorare e rendere effettive le proprie politiche in merito.
Nel corso della presentazione Watcher ha spiegato il ruolo e il valore dell’associazionismo Lgbti in ambito sportivo, dell’EGLSF e degli Eurogames, manifestazione europea che l’anno prossimo approderà a Roma grazie a GAYCS. Celenic ha raccontato dell’impegno della sua organizzazione nell’accesso per le donne a uno sport tradizionalmente maschile come il calcio nel difficile contesto serbo, mentre Klymenko ha spiegato il lavoro della rete Fare contro il razzismo e le discriminazione, in particolare attraverso strumenti di inclusione, partecipazione e visibilità nei grandi eventi sportivi. Da ultimo, ad esempio la Diversity House durante la Coppa del Mondo in Russia.
Coco ha invece avuto modo di illustrare e confrontarsi sui primi dati emersi dalla ricerca su sport e persone Lgbti che ha concluso la raccolta dei dati lo scorso agosto. L’analisi delle risposte è ancora in corso e sarà oggetto della conferenza di mid-term di Outsport in calendario a Glasgow nei prossimi giorni.[:de]ILGA-Europe – the largest and most important umbrella organization in Europe with its 490 media organizations from 45 different countries – has just held its 22nd annual conference in Brussels from 24 to 27 October.
