All-in & Win Expert meeting in Barcelona

On 13 and 14 June, Barcelona played host to the All-in & Win project expert meeting, that brought together industry professionals, experts, and enthusiasts to explore collaborative approaches and foster innovation about more LGBTQ+ acceptance in sports. This dynamic program, organised by the Federacio Catalana de Hockey, encompassed a series of engaging activities.

The All-in & Win expert meeting commenced with a plenary session, marked by a warm welcome and an overview of the program’s objectives. Attendees were greeted with enthusiasm, setting the stage for an engaging and collaborative environment. The session provided a comprehensive explanation of the meeting’s structure, emphasizing the significance of collective efforts and innovative thinking.

Brainstorm Workshop

The brainstorm workshop formed the heart of the expert meeting, where all attendees actively contributed their ideas across a broad spectrum of topics. The ideas and proposals were meticulously documented and later grouped by relevant themes.

Working Session

The program continued with the initiation of the first working group sessions. These smaller, focused teams embarked on working sessions, each dedicated to a specific topic. In these sessions, participants immersed themselves in detailed discussions, leveraging their collective expertise to dissect challenges, identify opportunities, and propose innovative solutions. The specifics of the working group sessions were tailored to the individual topics, ensuring a targeted approach to problem-solving.

The second phase of the working group sessions witnessed participants refining and solidifying their individual conclusions. Each working group devoted their efforts to synthesizing the ideas, proposals, and discussions from the previous sessions. These final working group sessions aimed to consolidate the findings into concrete recommendations, strategies, and action plans.
