■ “Discrimination, exclusion, manifestations ofpervasive xenophobia and racism are still all toooften present in the world of sports both inwestern and, especially, in eastern Europe. Thesports setting reflects and reinforces the widersocial issues. The world of sports also has animportant social responsibility: to rid itself ofdiscrimination as well as to contribute to thestruggle against discrimination in broader society,especially among the young.“The broad-ranging study conducted by SchweryConsulting shows that the challenges are veryacute, but it also highlights signs of hope – youngpeople are often receptive to the message andvalues of anti-discrimination and there is a pool ofsuccessful educational initiatives contributing to anon-discriminatory, racism-free culture,challenging xenophobia and various forms ofexclusion across the continent.”Dr Rafal Pankowski,Associate Professor Collegium Civitas (Warsaw),‘NEVER AGAIN’ Association
