🇬🇧 Why training is essential to build inclusive sports environments

TRANSPORTACTION is co-funded by the European Union

Sport has the power to bring people together, but not everyone can access it with the same ease. For many transgender, gender diverse and intersex people, gyms and sports clubs can still be challenging spaces, shaped by stereotypes, misunderstandings and cultural barriers.This is why training stands at the core of TRANSPORTACTION: without the right skills, inclusion risks remaining only an intention.

The training offered through the project supports coaches, instructors and sports managers in understanding gender identities, using inclusive language, managing shared spaces and adapting training sessions. It is not only about gaining new knowledge, but about learning how to transform the sports environment into a welcoming and safe space for everyone.

Through practical tools, concrete examples and replicable methods, TRANSPORTACTION aims to build a new sports culture—one that sees diversity as a strength rather than an obstacle.
