  The UNESCO Chair ‘Transforming the lives of people with disabilities, their families and communities through physical education, sport, recreation and fitness’ at the Institute of Technology Tralee was charged with leading on three specific areas of the Kazan Action Plan namely I.7, II.4 and III.2 above. In this regard we need to expand from our core focus around disability to include multiple areas of potential discrimination or prejudice with the aim of mainstreaming these issues. For the purposes of mobilising intersectional inclusion through the actions described in this document we sought the cooperation and support of those charged with driving actions relating to I.5 and II.6 above, namely the International Working Group On Women And Sport and Women’s Sport International. On the interviews, the idoenity and relevance of some indicators related to the SDGs are explored with a view of capturing the impact of the SDGs in and through sport.
