EXPOSURE, INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY


The sport because of its unique nature will require lots of traveling, within the state, around the African continent and subsequently beyond the shores of Africa. These experiences (i.e activities ranging from spectacular sport, International games, international scouts, IFAF championships etc) will serve as an informal form of education for the youth engaging in the sport and affording them an opportunity to learn the ways of life and diverse cultures of various communities.

Regardless of age, gender or ethnicity, sport is enjoyed by all; its reach is unrivalled. More importantly, this sport promotes universal values that transcend language and culture. It can be used as a tool to improve the welfare of the planet and its people. Through its values, we can teach teamwork, leadership, humility, tenacity, and determination but we will also use it to shine a light on social issues, harnessing its influence and reach to draw attention to matters that are impacting society.

This sport can promote the use of public spaces where diverse populations and marginalized community members can interact and create friendly relations. It can reduce antisocial behaviour through the provision of facilities and opportunities in areas affected by poverty, disengagement and low social development.





The role of this sport in promoting gender equality is also critical. It will help girls and women build self-esteem and develop skills needed to become equal participants and leaders in their various communities. Gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential to the achievement of the SDGs. We have the potential to equip girls and women with knowledge and skills that allow them to progress in society. This sport will also serve as a platform to promote the value of diversity. Our public awareness campaigns can promote awareness towards climate protection and can stimulate enhanced community response for local environment preservation.

The right to equality and non-discrimination is a cornerstone of international law. The popularity of, and positive attitude towards sport make it a suitable tool for tackling inequality in areas and populations that are difficult to reach. It can also tackle prejudice and intolerance by promoting tolerance and pro-social behaviour instead.
