Inclusion in sport is as all about shifting the way people think and act so that barriers to participation are removed. It’s about much more than just the activity itself and requires all the people and groups involved to be on the same page and moving in the same direction. Building and maintaining effective partnerships and networks plays an important role in achieving success. The question is how can we achieve this? This is where Collective Impact could provide sport administrators with a way forward.

An excellent way to show your commitment to and promote inclusion is to celebrate days, events and festivals that are important to the many diverse groups in your community. Doing so helps people feel acknowledged and represented. It also helps raise awareness and educate your sport club or organisation.
