We were delighted to celebrate World Table Tennis Day 2026 with an amazing afternoon of fun, inclusion and community through sport ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ’™

Young people from the local community came together at St Laurence Oโ€™Toole Recreation Centre to enjoy table tennis activities promoting health, well-being and social connection in a welcoming environment for all.

At SARI, we continue to use sport as a tool to bring people together, break down barriers and create positive spaces where everyone belongs.

A huge thank you to all participants, volunteers, partners and St Laurence Oโ€™Toole Recreation Centre who helped make the day such a success.

At SARI, sport is more than competition โ€” it is a way to bring people together, create opportunities for connection and break down barriers. Through programmes such as Football for Unity, Soccernites, the Sport for Social Cohesion Lab and Football Versus Discrimination workshops, we use sport to promote inclusion, dialogue and belonging across communities.

This yearโ€™s theme, Sport: Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers, reflects the work sport does every day in creating spaces of respect, solidarity and shared experience.

Proclaiming the day in 1966 the UN General Assembly called on the international community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination. It is a day for us to consider the continuing curse of racism and what we can do about it. The future is in our hands.

SARI uses the power of sport to challenge discrimination, promote cultural integration and drive social inclusion throughout Ireland. Working with schools, Direct Provision Centres, refugee and local communities SARI delivers anti-discrimination educational workshops, intercultural sporting events and a Young Leaders youth development and employability programme collectively creating opportunities for all.
