We belive that success for IRTS lies in cooperation. We are looking for IRTS partnerships of stakeholders from different sectors including sport, health, leisure, education, social, humanitarian, cultural, corporations and community organizations. We look for partnerships that have substantial and well-documented proof of success.

To make change, women’s voices need to be heard. We are looking for programmes of empowerment activities or networks that support refugees and asylum-seeking women and girls to develop their confidence and skills (also) through sport. This can be in the shape of a welcoming and supportive space in which women/girls can meet peers and begin to rebuild their lives, whether through sport, culture, or learning a new language.
We are looking for projects, programmes or a network that empower the refugees and include them in the programme design and decision-making process. We would like to showcase the tools, information and resources that organisation use with refugees to learn how to develop and lead activities and programmes themselves. We are looking for examples of how to look at refugees as a competent group, as a group that can bring added value in the local community.
As the world endures the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the multiple benefits of sport to individuals and society have become more evident than ever. Sport and physical activity remain key tools in overcoming the difficulties of the pandemic, by providing opportunities to build resilience, boost mental health and offer hope, in particular refugees. We are looking for programmes or networks that during 2020 and 2021 have adapted and innovated to address the challenges and evolving needs in societies hit by the pandemic.
We are looking for programmes and projects that work to empower and build employability for refugees in a new country. We would like to showcase tools and services which reinforce skills for employability of refugees in or through sport.
We would like to award a person that makes a difference to create more inclusive communities, schools, sport clubs or workplaces through sport. We are looking for a person that is demonstrating leadership and taking action to address inclusion challenges, discrimination, and helping to create more inclusive societies. This category is relevant for anyone who is dreaming big and pushing boundaries to make a difference, and there are many forms this could take. For example, an IRTS role model could be working with refugees in support of their integration in a sport club, local community or a pathway to meaningful employment. IRTS Role models can be refugees or citizens in the host country.
