The Sport Inclusion Network (SPIN) is built on the vision that sport is for ALL in society, regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or social status.
SPIN brings together a variety of organizations, dedicated to making sport more inclusive.

In a highly collaborative way, we develop projects, campaigns, trainings, and online resources. We further produce research publications, organize events, workshops and conferences.
SPIN has a policy of zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind. Respect for our members and the people we work for and with is paramount.
The purpose of SPIN (from our statutes):
SPIN fights for the right to enjoy sport and physical activities in a safe environment without the fear of discrimination and/or harassment.
SPIN promotes equality and equal opportunities in and through sport and combats any form of discrimination.
SPIN, in its operations and practices, recognises (and adheres to) principles enshrined in international frameworks such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and the European Sports Charter.
