Call for Abstracts - TAFISA World Congress 2026

At a time when the world needs connection, resilience, and shared purpose, the TAFISA World Congress 2026 in Prague invites us to reimagine Sport for All - not as an optional extra, but as an essential driver of inclusion, equity, and harmony.

Under the theme “Sport for All: Building Bridges for Inclusion, Equity, and Harmony”, the Congress will highlight Sport for All as a powerful tool for systemic change. It breaks down walls, moves beyond borders, and speaks across generations. It is a public good that belongs to everyone.

As part of the Congress program, we are pleased to launch the Call for Posters, welcoming contributions from researchers, students, practitioners, organizations, and changemakers worldwide. Contributions should reflect the Congress theme and address one of the following three subthemes:

• Bridge Generations: creating shared spaces for empathy, learning, and connection across age groups.
• Empower Communities: building local capacity, amplifying lived experiences, and supporting grassroots leadership.
• Connect Societies: fostering mutual understanding and cooperation across cultural, geographic, and social divides.

The best poster in each subtheme will be selected and awarded by the audience and the Program Committee
