Social
Inclusion

The exclusion or marginalisation of certain groups has occurred for as long as societies have existed. The overriding global thrust is - and has always been - to enable every individual to actively participate to their full potential and create stronger, more inclusive societies, regardless of people’s backgrounds, demographics or specific characteristics.

The Social Inclusion Educational Model helps us to build a deeper understanding of exclusion, the groups that are often excluded, the impact of this and the strength and power achieved through inclusive practice. Introducing simple tools and ideas, and sharing innovative practices, this module supports Sport for All organisations to lead with way with inclusive practice and support both individuals and organisations reach their full potential.
