ENGSO adopted a manifesto on inclusive sport in its General Assembly on 14-15 May in Belgrade. Underlining the important cohesive and inclusive role sport can play in society, ENGSO encourages sport organisations, in cooperation with public authorities on both national and European level, to take action in eight areas; the Manifesto touches upon the inclusion of immigrant populations, social exclusion, solidarity between generations, gender equality, racism, sexual orientation, violence, and disability.

Set against a backdrop of the EU2020 strategy, the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion 2010 and the sport provisions of the Lisbon Treaty, the Manifesto is hoped to raise awareness and impact relevant policies of sport organisations as well as to contribute to discussions on the inclusive role of sport in society. Recommended measures include supporting educational initiatives, creating guidelines, improving cooperation and embracing projects in various areas, among others.
