At the presentation ceremony, the Consell de Mallorca’s councillor for Transition, Tourism and Sports, Andreu Serra, stressed that “it is necessary to reinforce important values such as tolerance and respect in order to avoid episodes of verbal or physical violence in sporting events, and also to generate a positive and educational context based on sport, not just competition”. For this reason, the EsportNet campaign will work on respect from four different points of view and with different groups: no to violence on the field, with respect to plurality and diversity (of origin, colour, etc.), promotion of gender equality in sport and from the point of view of inclusion.
The island director of Esports, Marga Portells, highlighted the main actions that will be carried out around EsportNet. Som equip!, such as specific races, Suma’t! school workshops, presentations, a cridòmetre for sports facilities, training activities with sports clubs and different specific activities in the federated sphere, such as “specific dissemination campaigns with renowned sportspeople from different modalities, such as those we have seen here today”.
