This safe learning environment was also explicitly connected to their own role as facilitators, coaches or tutors, helping them reflect on how they can replicate similar safe spaces in their own training sessions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6832\" src=\"https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_114216125_iOS-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_114216125_iOS-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_114216125_iOS-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_114216125_iOS-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_114216125_iOS-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_114216125_iOS-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_114216125_iOS-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6833\" src=\"https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_125036157_iOS-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_125036157_iOS-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_125036157_iOS-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_125036157_iOS-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_125036157_iOS-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_125036157_iOS-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/equi-champions.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260131_125036157_iOS-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two EQUI-Champions pilots were organized in Spain by F\u00fatbol M\u00e1s and held in January and February.
