L’Autre Cercle Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a leading advocate for LGBTQI+ inclusion in the professional world, partners with EuroGames Lyon 2025.

Convinced that equality and diversity should be realities in all areas of society, the association sees this event as an exceptional opportunity to highlight shared values of respect and humanism in the fight against discrimination and the promotion of inclusion.

For over 25 years, L’Autre Cercle has worked to ensure an inclusive and supportive professional environment, guiding employers in developing diversity policies, notably through the LGBT+ Commitment Charter. The association also strives to change mindsets by promoting LGBT+ and Ally Role Models in the workplace. However, discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity does not stop at the doors of businesses—it also exists in sports, where many barriers persist for LGBTQI+ individuals, including gender stereotypes, implicit or explicit exclusions, and gender-based and sexual violence.

By bringing its expertise and network, L’Autre Cercle Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes helps strengthen the impact of the EuroGames and build bridges between the professional and sports worlds. The association encourages its partner organizations to support this event, convinced that best practices in workplace inclusion can also be applied to sports.

This partnership demonstrates a strong alignment between two essential causes: diversity in the workplace and inclusive sports for all. Because inclusion should not be a fight but a given, L’Autre Cercle Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is committed to making EuroGames Lyon 2025 a collective success and a lasting legacy for the region.
