THE EXEMPLARY EDUCATION AWARD

This award will be presented to the SSCNA member that has best demonstrated excellence in creating safe, inclusive and enjoyable environments where best sporting practice can be engaged.

THE SOCIAL COHESION AWARD

An individual is always stronger with the backing of those around him, and a large factor in building an individual is to build the community around them. This award will be presented to the SSCNA member that has best demonstrated excellence using sport, physical activity, or physical education, to promote social cohesion in communities by helping build peaceful, inclusive, and equitable societies.

THE INCLUSION AWARD

We all have something to contribute and nobody should be left unheard due to aspects of themselves they cannot change. The sporting world has often been a tumultuous area for those who are deemed “different” and that is something that needs to change. This award will be presented to the SSCNA member that has best demonstrated excellence using sport, physical activity, or physical education, through the inclusion and integration of the disabled community or other underrepresented groups throughout their communities.

THE ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT AWARD

Money makes the world go round and is essential to changing the world. While it is not the end goal, it does make your goals more achievable and rooted in the realm of reality. This award will be presented to the SSCNA member that has best demonstrated excellence using sport, physical activity, or physical education, by promot- ing economic development and productive employment in the communities in which they work, through programs that addresses employability, access to higher education or entrepreneurial skills.

THE SPORT FOR SOCIAL CHANGE CHAMPION AWARD

A big name using their voice to speak for the underrepresented, is a feat of humanity that holds an incredible power to it. The people whose lives have been so positively changed surely do appreciate it and so do we. This award will be presented to an individual who has made, in the opinion of the Sport for Social Change Network Africa, a major contribution to the promotion of the Sport for Peace and Development movement in Africa.
