Education

Out For The Win challenges the sports sector: join us in creating a safer sports environment for LGBTQI+ youth! Our educators are ready to empower your club or organization with inspiring training, hands-on workshops, insightful advice, and targeted support.

💪 Together, we are building a sports world where everyone feels at home. OFTW offers 5 different sessions on transgender and intersex people in sports:

BASIC TRAINING
In the 2-hour basic training, we focus on the basic framework and terminology of gender diversity. We provide some general tips & tricks and take time for a Q&A session.
GENDER IDENTITY
Sex and gender are often confused, but for many, these two concepts are worlds apart. What exactly is gender? How can you express your gender? And what does science say about sports and gender? For 2 hours, we will take you through gender in sports and present various good practices.
INCLUSION IS A LEARNABLE SKILL
What exactly is inclusion and why is it important? How can you, as an individual, club, organization, or sports federation, be an ally? How do you create a place for every athlete? Through this workshop, we will provide you with best practices and teach you how to transform your own club into a place where everyone feels welcome.
COMMUNICATION
During this workshop, we will take the time to learn all about gender-conscious communication and the importance of communication. We will explain pronouns and the importance of inclusive language. We will also explain how to deal with hate speech and negative reactions. How do you approach this and what tools are available to you?
POLICY AND LOGISTICS
In this workshop, we will guide you through your own policy. What do you want to achieve with your inclusive policy? We will also discuss current transgender policy in sports and explore various frameworks you can use to shape your own policy. The rest of the workshop will be hands-on, focusing on making your policy more inclusive and developing a plan of action.

Are you looking for a plan of action to get started on your own? Are you looking for an organization that challenges your policy and makes adjustments where necessary? Then you can also contact Out For The Win!

Support services

We support projects that contribute to a more inclusive and safer sports sector as time allows. We are pleased that many promising initiatives are underway behind the scenes at various sports organizations. Over the years, we have supported various initiatives and helped with several small and large projects. A selection from the list can be found below:

"A heart for sport" campaign by Sport Flanders
An inclusive sports regulation at KLJ
Update of the gender scan at Sportieq
Awareness campaign for the Flanders Classic World Championships "Chasing the rainbow together"

In addition, we have developed various guides and tools that should contribute to a more inclusive sports world where LGBTQIA+ athletes feel welcome and safe.
