Join us for the 15th edition of the Innovation Series, where we delve into gender and sexuality in sport for development. Host Lucy Mills will be joined by Alison Carney, a leading consultant on gender, sport, and social impact, known for her work in promoting inclusivity in sport-based programs worldwide. They will explore why gender and sexuality are important considerations in the field of sport for development - demystifying terms like LGBTQIA+ and exploring what inclusive gender equity looks like. They will also focus on the practical steps that sport for development practitioners can take to ensure their programs are genuinely inclusive, accessible, and beneficial for all participants, regardless of gender or sexual identity. This is a must-attend event for anyone looking to create more equitable and inclusive environments in sport. **About Alison Carney:** Alison is a freelance consultant, facilitator, trainer and researcher who works with community organizations, international NGOs and foundations to support gender equality/equity, inclusion and to build learning systems to better understand and amplify work for social impact. Alison has specialized in gender equality/equity and inclusion in sport for development since 2012 and has accompanied sport for development organizations around the world to build sport programs that provide inclusive and empowering spaces for people of all genders, in particular girls and women. Her research on gender equity and inclusion in sport for development has been published by the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, the Institute for Development Studies and the International Review for the Sociology of Sport. She also specializes in creating inclusive learning spaces and spaces for shared and collaborative learning, such as learning communities or co-designed and collaborative Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning.
