The Participatory Dialogues for the creation of a new National Sports Law were convened by the Ministry of Sports of Chile in the different regions of the country in order to further generate inclusion and participation around four themes: Children's Sport; Social Participation, Physical Activity and Performance Sports. For these dialogues leaders, athletes, technicians, teachers and representatives of the sports institutions of the province were called, with the purpose of working on the construction of a new regional policy for physical activity and sport. Likewise, the dialogues sought to rescue the essence of each territory, highlighting its diversity and the characteristics that make them different. In this way the new policy will seek to reflect this diversity so that it is included in the country's sports development. The dialogues covered 60% of the municipalities in Chile, between May and December 2015. A total of 12.915 citizens participated in the process.
