Marseille Declaration

The Marseille Declaration is supported by UNESCO and represents a commitment to inclusion by and for the Fitness Sector and is in full alignment with UNESCO’s International Charter of Physical Education, Physical Activity and Sport (2015) and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006). As a Social Change Movement the Declaration should be signed by all those who believe in the power of the Fitness Sector to act as a key societal conduit through which we can foster greater social inclusion of people with disabilities and other marginalized groups.

The Marseille Declaration Launch took place in combination with the UFIT USA Launch in 2016. The Declaration has been signed multiple times and thereby marks the great commitment and start for future signings and commitment to inclusivize the Fitness Sector.
