Скачать или смотреть World Out Games: John Amaechi & Brian Dooley

John Amaechi (United Kingdom), Retired NBA star and Amnesty International Human Rights Ambassador
and
Brian Dooley (UK), Amnesty International, London
Major human rights breakthroughs have been made in the area of sport; Jesse Owens, Muhammad Ali and Martina Navratilova are iconic athletes and human rights figures. Sport can demolish stereotypes and promote diversity but it can also harbour bigotry and discrimination.
Some countries are allowed to send only male athletes to the Olympic Games; homophobia and racism remain unaddressed at the highest levels of major sports.
This workshop will explore the power of sport to both perpetuate and overcome discrimination and share examples of effective human rights activism in sport!
