MESIS fosters LGBTI inclusive sport communities by developing new pedagogical tools and competences in the field of the “Education Through Sport” (ETS) methodology.
LGBTQI+ Policy and Leadership in Sport and Society (+PLUSS) enhanced the inclusion and participation of athletes with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics in European grassroots sport by combating discrimination & addressing intolerance against sex- and gender-diverse athletes and by establishing an inclusive sport culture where all can participate.
Project deliverables are divided into three sections:
- Research report with an illustrated story of the roots and future of LGBTIQ+ sport in Europe
- Guidelines for LGBTIQ+ and mainstream sports organisers for building inclusive and sustainable sport communities
- Policy paper with a set of recommendations for policymakers and sport authorities
All materials are downloadable PDF files that are publicly available and free to use.
EGLSF contributed to the UEFA Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Toolkit as a LGBTQI+ sport subject matter expert and content contributor. “This toolkit aims to support national associations, clubs and leagues by developing a coherent understanding across the football landscape of what EDI involves, and how everyone in the game has a role to play in progress of these topics. … In short: Diversity powers performance. Equality and inclusion protect it.”
The toolkit was published in 11.3.2026.
The main objective of the LBTI+ Women in Sport: Research & Outcomes (WSRO) project was to start creating research data to reflect the situation regarding participation and visibility of LBTI+ women in sport, as individuals, and through their participation in mainstream and in LGBTIQ+ sports organisations, promoting equality and European values in and through sport by highlighting the needs, barriers, and challenges that they are presented with.
