The Mission Statement of University Sports Hamburg

OUR VISION

Our vision is to encourage people to lead active lives and take part in sport throughout their lives, and to help them discover the joy of physical activity.

OUR MISSION

We create opportunities for people to come together, encourage interaction, a sense of belonging and integration amongst the university community through sport and physical activity, thereby promoting diversity at our member universities.

OUR JOURNEY

We encourage students to get involved in shaping university sports and maintain an ongoing dialogue with the university’s governing bodies.

We provide easy access to high-quality activities and offer a platform for the cultural diversity of sport and exercise. In doing so, we provide a healthy balance to everyday student and working life.

We see ourselves as a learning organisation; as such, we encourage the active involvement of all staff and offer a wide range of development opportunities, both professionally and personally.

We are part of the national and international network of university sports facilities and thus contribute to the development of student sport.

OUR VALUES

We are committed to treating one another with respect and without prejudice. Diversity, openness and tolerance are central to our identity. Mindfulness, teamwork, trust and commitment characterise our work at every level.

We do not tolerate any form of discriminatory behaviour and are actively committed to creating a safe, non-discriminatory environment for everyone.

We are guided by the principles of sustainability in the planning and implementation of all university sports initiatives.
