Assign each group a specific aspect of an inclusive and safe space (e.g., accessibility, anti-discrimination, conflict resolution, mental health support). ○ Divide participants into small groups, have each group organise their ideas into key themes and create a best-case scenario of a safe and inclusive space. Encourage them to use flip charts or sticky notes to categorise their findings. ○ Provide guiding questions like - “What makes a sports space feel safe for all participants?”, - “How can inclusivity be actively implemented?”, - “What challenges might arise, and how can they be addressed?”. ○ Each group presents their identified elements and solutions. Encourage discussion and comparison of different ideas and identify common themes and key takeaways. ● Step 5 - Reflection (10 minutes) ○ Encourage participants to reflect on the most important elements identified and how these can be integrated into real sports spaces. Tips for Facilitators: Offer examples of best practices and emphasise the importance of clear, actionable steps in policies.
