“…There is broad academic consensus that LGBT+ individuals have been marginalised in sporting cultures and that their experiences have been under-represented in the academic literature (Krane, 2019). However, research on LGBT+ individuals and sport has increased over the last decade, exploring a variety of issues, such as the engagement of young LGBT+ people in sport (Greenspan et al, 2019), experiences of LGBT+ individuals in sport contexts (Kavoura and Kokkonen, 2020), the perception of homo- and transphobia in sport by LGBT+ people (ACT Government, 2014; Demers, 2017), media coverage and online comments about LGBT+ individuals in sport (Coche and Le Blond, 2018; Kian et al, 2015) and the health impact of discrimination on LGBT+ people in sport (Kokkonen, 2019; Symons et al, 2016).…”

There is broad academic consensus that LGBT+ individuals have been marginalised in both sporting culture and in the academic literature. While the majority of academic research is conducted in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, the present research is the first to provide a comprehensive picture of the situation and experiences of LGBT+ individuals in sport in Europe based on a quantitative online survey with LGBT+ respondents over 16 years old ( N = 5524). Against the background of a multilevel model for understanding the experiences of LGBT+ individuals and the minority stress model, this article focuses on two questions: firstly, if, and to what extent, LGBT+ individuals witness or experience homo-/transnegative episodes in sport and, secondly, whether they refrain from participating in sport and/or feel excluded from specific sports due to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. The analysis takes into account diverse intersections of sexual orientation and gender identities within the umbrella of LGBT+ and different sport contexts that reflect the broad scope of sport cultures. Data reveal that non-cisgender persons make up the most vulnerable group within the umbrella of LGBT+ and that there is an inverse relation of distal/proximal stressors with regard to experiences of homophobic language in different sport contexts.

“…This makes it very difficult for them to show their abilities and skills and gain sufficient respect. Coche and Le Blond (2018) draw attention to the critical public view of a woman coaching a top male athlete. Even our female respondents prefer coaching girls and women (38%) over coaching male athletes (27%) in their possible future coaching work.…”

The research is focused on teachers‘ approaches, opinions, and visions concerning inclusive education in the South Moravian Region and the Split-Dalmatian County. Further to that, it analyses the degree of Inclusion in these areas. The relationship of pedagogues towards Inclusion, due to a steep increase of specific disorders, is extremely important. The research was made in the year when the inclusive education bill was passed in the Czech Republic. Data was collected in the first school year when schools in Czech Republic functioned as in-clusive. Data collection took place in Split-Dalmatian county in 2016 and the South Moravian Region in 2017. The research is qualitative, an open-question questionnaire was made, and a non-structured interview was made when visiting schools. We set the following hypothe-ses. We assume that teachers of selected schools of the Split-Dalmatia County evaluate Inclusion more negatively than teachers of selected primary schools in the South Moravian Region. This hypothesis is not confirmed. We expect that Inclusion will take place in selected elementary schools in the South Moravian Region more than in selected elementary schools in Split-Dalmatia County. This hypothesis is not confirmed. This research is based on the methodology and data from the diploma thesis of Nikola Stračárová 2017 (Stračárová, 2017).

“…The 17 reflections were systematically analyzed for this case study following the five main steps of a thematic qualitative analysis (Corbin & Strauss, 2007;Creswell, 2013) used by previous scholars in various fields, including mass communication (e.g., Belair-Gagnon & Steinke, 2020;Coche & LeBlond, 2018). First, the researcher immersed in the data, then broke it down by identifying basic underlying themes before identifying concept (usually known as coding).…”

Virtual exchange (VE) is an emergent but promising trend in course internationalization, which consists of using technology to interact and work with another class located in another city/country to develop digital skills and intercultural competence. After a VE project was implemented in a sports-related communication course, students reflected on their experience in a short paper or a video. This case study is a qualitative analysis of these 17 reflections. Despite some complications, students indicated they learned much about cultural differences and would be keen to repeat the VE experience.
