The Outsport Network and AICS are pleased to announce the second edition of the Outsport Webinar. On January 28, 2022 we will sum up the most relevant facts and figures related to LGBTIQ and sport in 2021 and we will present the latest publication by the German Sport University of Cologne: “Sport, Identity and Inclusion in Europe: The Experiences of LGBTQ People in Sport”. This book explores and critically assesses the challenges and experiences of LGBTQ people within sport in Europe, presenting in-depth comparative surveys of systems and experiences from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the UK and Spain.

Furthermore, we will discuss the implications and the new perspectives brought by the latest IOC framework on fairness, inclusion and non-discrimination on the basis of Gender Identity and Sex Variations.

The webinar aims to gather institutions, NGOs and sports clubs from all over Europe. More info and detailed program coming soon.
