El Salvador is experiencing a pivotal moment in its history, having identified sport as a key strategy to promote coexistence and violence prevention. This approach supports improved inclusion of vulnerable groups such as the elderly, persons deprived of liberty, and people with disabilities.

Since 2022, the National Sports Institute of El Salvador (INDES), in collaboration with the S4D Programme, conducted several trainings on the method “Deporte con Principios” for its staff. These sessions formed part of a broader strategy to integrate this method across all programmes implemented by the institution.

 In El Salvador, workshops for teachers and coaches focused on violence prevention and inclusion. The learning process was developed based on Colombia's experience in promoting coexistence and El Salvador's experience with an inclusive approach. 

The documents developed in Colombia were adapted for the use and context of El Salvador with an emphasis on inclusion.
