The Foundation GaituzSport Fundazioa has organised the 1st Conference ‘Weaving networks for inclusion via sport’ to be held at Yimby, Bilbao on 29th November with the sponsorship of the Basque Government, Bilbao City Council,Laboral Kutxa and Kirolene.

This first GaituzSPORT Summit arises from the need to create areas for debate and reflection within the scope of inclusion in sport.

Just like Nelson Mandela, at GaituzSport we believe in the power of sport as a social transformation tool.An advanced society like ours must ensure the inclusion of all collectives and sport is a great integration channel.

Inclusion is the attitude, tendency or policy of integrating everybody in society, so they can take part and contribute to it, likewise benefit from this process.

Inclusion seeks to achieve all individuals or social groups, particularly those in conditions of segregation or margination to have equal possibilities and opportunities to fulfil themselves as individuals.

‘Weaving networks for inclusion via sport’ is an INNOVATIVE & INTERACTIVE FORUM, where all the social agents’ voices can be heard and analyse the current situation of inclusion via sport and identify improvement proposals.

Follow the Conference via STREAMING.
