Give Sport a Say in Oulu, Finland!

From 5 to 7 October, our Project Coordinator Fr**ga Franke joined the 23rd EAS Conference for a “question burst” workshop on EU sport policies. Instead of looking for answers, participants came up with the questions that really matter, like: What does social inclusion in sport actually mean? 🤔

Thanks to EAS, OPES & EUSA! 🙌

Give Sport a Say is co-funded by the European Union under the CERV programme.

🥍 LaxSeed: Planting Lacrosse in Western Japan

In Japan, a child who wants to try lacrosse usually has nowhere to go. This summer, Masa set out to change that.

Through his REACH Sport for All initiative, he trained 25 young players to lead free lacrosse sessions for kids and families in Osaka, Kobe, Nishinomiya and Takarazuka. Each event opened with SPOGOMI, a litter-picking game that collected over 50 kg of rubbish.

5 events, 94 people reached, 13 first-time volunteers and a perfect 5.0/5.0 rating from families. With equipment staying at partner schools and new clinics planned with FOGOJAPAN, LaxSeed is built to last.

Before a single child steps onto a court or a field, someone has to prepare the person who will teach them.

That’s where 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗮𝘂, known as Lai, does some of her most important work.

As a Fiji National Sports Commission OSEP Educator, Lai trains teachers, coaches and community leaders across Fiji. Her impact doesn’t travel in a straight line. It multiplies.

Through the 𝗧𝗔𝗙𝗜𝗦𝗔 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗹, part of the SUCCEED Framework, she sat in a room with community leaders from across Fiji and discovered something she hadn’t expected. Different provinces. Different communities. The same challenges.

“𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨.”

That realisation shifted how she understands leadership. Not titles. Not authority. Service. And the quiet, consistent work of passing on what you know to the people who will carry it further.

“𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙥 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬.”
