The Sports World´s Pursuit for Inclusiveness

The Sports Inclusiveness week aims to highlight the new focus on increased inclusiveness among Swedish national Sports Federations and Leagues. Even though it has not yet been fully recognised, multiple sport organisations have during the recent years made considerable efforts to diversify and strengthen their management. Acknowledging this societal trend and the current research supporting this transition, opens up for new career and business opportunities relevant for all SSE students.
