#BeInclusive Awards

The #BeInclusive Awards aim to celebrate organisations which show inspiring examples of the power of sport in fostering the inclusion of disadvantaged groups. 

This year, Commissioner Gabriel will announce the winners for each of the prize categories

  • Breaking barriers
  • Celebrating diversity
  • Inspiring change

Organisations submitted 87 wonderful projects to the competition from all around Europe. A dedicated High-Level Jury evaluated the projects and selected the finalists and the winners.

9 finalists have been announced to compete for the grand prize in each category. Each finalist will receive €2 500, while each of the three first-place winners will receive €10 000.

 

Award categories

  • Breaking barriers - to reward projects that show resilience, giving examples of how to overcome obstacles to participation.
  • Celebrating diversity - to reward projects that show tolerance, giving positive examples of different people groups and working together or emphasize the benefits of understanding each other.
  • Inspiring change - to reward projects that show inspiration, giving positive examples of empowerment and role models from groups with fewer opportunities that step up and lead change.

About #BeInclusive

Sport is fun, exciting and it brings people together. Sport is also based on fairness and respect – regardless of who you are and where you come from.

This makes it a powerful tool for breaking barriers and building a more inclusive society.

The European Commission #BeInclusive EU Sport Awards recognise organisations using the power of sport to increase social inclusion for disadvantaged groups.
