The
1st World
Outgames Montréal 2006 is a major athletic and cultural event that
brings together people from all over the world. Based on the
principles of Participation and Celebration, Respect
and Fairness, Innovation, Diversity
and Empowerment (PRIDE), the games welcome
everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, age, gender, race,
religion, nationality, ethnicity, physical challenge, political
beliefs, physical ability, athletic/artistic skills or HIV/ health
status. There are no minimum athletic standards to qualify for the
Outgames. The only requirement is the desire to support the ideals
of the Outgames. People with specific needs or disabilities are
integrated as full-fledged participants, volunteers, officials and
spectators. By accepting the Outgames’ challenge, all Outgames
participants automatically become winners.
The
Outgames are a safe and accepting environment where participants may
express themselves openly and enjoy the camaraderie and rewards of
sport, culture and art. In fact, the experience can be the highlight
of a lifetime!
As
individuals, participants celebrate personal achievement; as a
collective, we experience group solidarity and celebrate the
diversity and scope of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
communities. Through the athletic and cultural activities of the
Outgames, stereotypes are challenged and barriers broken down.
During autumn and winter 2005/2006
Enkidu will organise several information sessions and registration
parties for the 1st World Outgames.
Locations and schedules will be
published here soon. |
