Within the OutSport Project the partners have agreed to organise an international training course for 4 countries (Italy, Austria, Scotland and Hungary) in order to develop the capacity of project partners in relation to using education through sport methods in promoting an LGBTQI inclusive sport environment in all levels of sport (grass root sport, school sport and elite sport) as well as to prepare the national educational activities and infodays. 
The educational objectives of the training course are:
- To have a clear understanding of the project „Outsport“, its objectives and expected outcomes,
- To understand mechanisms of discrimination in sport based on sexual orientation and gender identity,

- To share and develop practices and specific exercises that address the issues of today,
- To support participants in preparing the national training activities,
- To plan support and mentoring for the national trainer teams for the implementation process of the national training courses,
