Fier-Play and UFOLEP Join Forces to Promote a More Inclusive Sport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Pride Month marked an important milestone for Fier-Play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During our morning discussion session dedicated to combating discrimination in sports, held at Rosa Bonheur in the East, we were pleased to formalize a national partnership with UFOLEP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event brought together athletes, institutional representatives, organizations, sports federations, and partners united by a common goal: to make sports a space where everyone can participate freely, without fear of being discriminated against because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the morning, discussions shed light on the realities still faced by many people in the sports world, as well as the concrete initiatives that are helping to change practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testimonials from athletes, feedback from those working on the ground, and remarks from institutional representatives underscored a simple truth: inclusion cannot be decreed; it must be built collectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A partnership based on shared values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The signing of this agreement between Fier-Play and UFOLEP is part of this approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 338,000 registered members and nearly 7,000 affiliated clubs throughout the country, UFOLEP plays a major role in developing sports that are accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our discussions quickly revealed a shared vision of sports: a tool for empowerment, citizenship, and community building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This agreement provides, in particular, for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • developing joint initiatives to promote inclusion;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • providing support to sports organizations affiliated with UFOLEP;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • participating in working groups and thematic workshops;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • sharing expertise and educational resources;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • contributing to the work of the Fier-Play Lab;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • developing future joint projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Support Rather Than Judge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    This partnership is based on a strong conviction: the vast majority of sports organizations want to promote inclusion, but they do not always have the necessary tools or resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The goal, therefore, is not to hand out praise or criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The goal is to support clubs, organizations, and leaders who want to make progress, taking into account their specific circumstances, history, and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Every organization is different. Every region is different. Solutions must therefore be tailored and developed over the long term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    A trend that continues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n

    This signing marks the beginning of a collaboration that we hope will be ambitious and long-lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is fully aligned with the development of the Fier-Play Network, which aims to support sports organizations, assist victims of LGBTIQ+phobia in sports, and raise the visibility of committed athletes through Proud Champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We extend our warmest thanks to all the speakers, our institutional partners, Rosa Bonheur \u00e0 l\u2019Est for hosting us, and everyone who attended this morning\u2019s event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Together, let\u2019s continue to build a more inclusive, equitable, and respectful sports environment for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
