The vision of the two-year ESPIN project is to increase sports participation of disadvantages groups by promoting volunteering and equal access of migrants & minorities to organised sport.The under-representation of migrants and ethnic minorities and their exclusion from positions of authority or status is a reality in many sports. The lack of advancement of minorities in non-playing positions (administrators, coaches, referees) remains a recurring issue in many European sports.The overall objective of the project is to promote social inclusion and equal opportunities in organised sport through volunteering of migrants and minorities and capacity-building in sport organisations.
