This analysis will include European online roundtables organized by our experts’ partners and studies lead by our academic’ partners. A study will be produced on each topic, to identify the barriers to employment in the sport sector in terms of gender, age and disability.

The identification of the best practices for a more inclusive and diverse workforce in the sport sector will be realized thanks to the organization of 9 national roundtables about the 3 main axes of the project. All these best practices will be compiled in order to provide a complete guide of best practices for the inclusiveness and diversity of the sport workforce, including identified policies that lead to a more inclusive labour market.
