Empowering youth for a safer and cleaner sports environment is the main message of the YIAP Programme. ''Cooperation and collaboration is a must, working together and including stakeholders from all levels - from local sport clubs and national federations to sports managers and professional athletes,'' adds Ugne Chmeliauskaite, Chair of ENGSO Youth and athlete for the Lithuanian National field hockey team.

''Supporting sport and sharing in the same values - responsibility and integrity - is in the DNA of lotteries’’, adds Olivier Alsteens, COO, Loterie Nationale Loterij, Belgium. Access to all sports from local projects to facilitate integration between communities to inspiring young athletes to participate in team sports, lotteries work for the benefit of society and continue to support sport communities to promote fair play, integrity and transparency. 

Hrisitina Hristova, Project manager, European University Sports Association (EUSA) highlighted the importance of sport integrity within university sport and the promotion of fairness and fair play in sport competitions. Jenni Hakkinen, Project manager, Special Olympics Europe Eurasia together with youth athletes emphasise why inclusion and integrity matters and the importance to champion young people as leaders in sport. 

By sharing the same core values of responsibility, sustainability and integrity, ENGSO and EL continue to strengthen their collaboration for sport integrity. EL supports the partnership with ENGSO with its extensive experience in working with the topic of integrity, especially in the field of sport.
