TAFISA's Mission 2030: "For a Better World Through Sport for All" is the guiding document for a global strategy to fight the worldwide physical inactivity epidemic. Today, our people and our world face challenges and threats on a diverse scale never seen before - from climate change to civil unrest, non-communicable diseases, isolation, oppression, poverty, terrorism and the threat of nuclear war. These are not problems unique to any one demographic, geography, belief system or political status. These are global problems, faced by all of us; our friends, our neighbours, our families, our children. Without immediate and effective change, generations to come will not enjoy the world as we have done. The world they will live in will be a lesser world than ours. This is not only not fair, but unacceptable... and preventable. Sport, physical activity, elite and grassroots sports, play, movement, traditional sports and games, leisure and recreational sports... Whatever you wish to call it, Sport for All has the power to make a change, to make the world a better place, to contribute to solving the world's problems like little else can. All people are made to play, and play, in all its physical forms, is understood by all people. It crosses boundaries of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, geographic location and physical or mental abilities, and builds bridges and bonds between people. It increases physical, mental and social health, reduces environmental and economic costs, preserves cultural diversity and creates peace. It is a basic human right, and a mighty tool to combat our greatest global challenges. Our mission is to create a better world through Sport for All by 2030 for the next generation to enjoy. There are many outstanding research and white papers, agendas and guidelines establishing the case for Sport for All and physical activity (SAPA), as well as global Sustainable Development Goals, and TAFISA encourages you to access these. However, as the leader of the global Sport for All Movement, TAFISA is familiar with members, stakeholders and change-makers within the Movement, at local, national and international levels, and is calling them to action, alongside TAFISA.

TAFISA has launched the new cycle of TAFISA’s Mission 2030 Webinar Series, bringing forward innovative approaches packed with new exciting features!
This cycle builds upon the success of the previous webinar cycle, which saw 73 speakers and 4179 participants from over 90 countries participate in 13 online workshops between 2021 and 2023. Each Webinar is connected to a theme of TAFISA Mission 2030 — For a Better World Through Sport for All and is free and open to all. The upcoming sessions will focus on strategic themes aimed at overcoming existing barriers and enabling individuals, organisations, and stakeholders from the global Sport for All Movement to explore new and innovative solutions to not only increase participation in Sport for All and physical activity but also contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The Webinars are designed to empower representatives from the global Sport for All Movement to use sport to drive social change and enhance their impact, by providing the necessary tools, knowledge, and know-how to tackle local, national, and global challenges. TAFISA invites all Sport for All stakeholders to come together, discuss and debate challenges, and collectively establish solutions for working together and further tapping into the potential of Sport for All for a better world.

Leading a series of transversal topics spanning the themes of Mission 2030, the first Workbook: “Respect in Sport and through Sport” has been published. Undeniably, respect is necessary for all sporting activities; organised or spontaneous, grassroots or elite, urban or rural, regional, national or international, etc. Fair play, tolerance, mutual acceptance, healthy body and mind, teamwork, the spirit of community, cultural heritage and diversity – all of which are not only essential in the sporting sphere but can also be summarised under the attitude of respect.
