This starts with changing the language and rules that prohibit athletes’ freedom of expression during sporting events. powerofsportlab https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2040339055 2022-02-10 14:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2040339055 Inspired by Kerry Kennedy’s book and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Speak Truth to Power is a human rights education program that combines storytelling and interactive learning to provide the next generation with the concrete knowledge they will need to create change and advance human rights. powerofsportlab https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2040390467 2022-02-10 14:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2040390467 Rule 50 & freedom of expression https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2040403942 Great collection of blog posts on Freedom of Expression in the Olympic Movement, including my piece on the evolution of Rule 50 & how to challenge it.]]> 2022-02-10 14:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2040403942 "Freedom of expression is the foundation of human rights.." powerofsportlab https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2041142966 2022-02-10 20:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2041142966 Sport as a human right powerofsportlab https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2041255475 2022-02-10 21:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2041255475 https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2042805514 2022-02-11 17:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2042805514 Despite the opportunity to make a positive legal change to protect the human rights of athletes at the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee’s failure to embed human rights into the Olympic Charter now means athletes at the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing are facing even more severe restrictions to their freedom of expression rights. powerofsportlab https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2048968075 2022-02-15 16:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2048968075 powerofsportlab https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2049001915 2022-02-15 16:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2049001915 After Beijing 2022, how can the sport and human rights community best ensure that the right to freedom of expression for people in the sport community is "never again" limited, threatened, or punished?

Freedom of expression and differing (even critical) viewpoints must be protected and encouraged - across sports, events, organisations and institutions. We can be critical because we care and want to ensure sport is more equitable, accessible and inclusive - and plays a greater role in positively shaping society. bensanders10 https://padlet.com/powerofsportlab/Beijing2022Freedom/wish/2050545465 Dr Ben Sanders
