All set for Sport For Inclusion Week

At’Allianz Cloud in Milan è was presented the first edition of Sport For Inclusion Week, an initiative promoted by the Sport for Inclusion Network to publicize the many inclusive sports activities that in Italy are carried out or supported by the Network’s member Foundations.

Sport for Inclusion Network è the first thematic network among foundations in Italy, which with its 25 members gathers the most interesting practices of inclusive sports to combat fragility and promote public health; foundations that in 2022 have promoted or implemented more than 300 initiatives aimed at more than 175,000 direct or indirect beneficiaries.

For 8 days, from Nov. 26 to Dec. 3, all along the peninsula, inclusive sports projects will open their doors to tell about a declination of sport with high social impact, which intervenes to reduce inequalities, working with the most fragile people even in the most difficult territories.

“We have chosen to open to citizenship some of the activities involving the foundations in our network,” said Rocco Giorgianni, president of Sport for Inclusion Network – to show how much inclusive force sport can have and whyé we want the culture of sport as a key to social welfare to be more and moreù community heritage”.

“È for us it is a pleasure to have organized this day and to have hosted it at the’Allianz Cloud to present Sport for Inclusion Week, a week throughout Italy dedicated to inclusive sports,” added Maurizio Devescovi, general manager of Allianz S.p.A. and president of Allianz UMANA MENTE Foundation. With this day, Allianz UMANA MENTE Foundation once again wants to emphasize the importance of sport in the social projects we support and reiterate its role as a tool for inclusion and social cohesion. In this way we cultivate in our projects the typical values of sports, such as teamwork, achieving increasingly challenging goals, preparation, continuous improvement and respect for others by overcoming any kind of discrimination”.
