This translational project funded by the European Commission has been selected under the 2009 call for proposals in the framework of the Preparatory Action in the field of sport in the area of intervention “promoting European fundamental values by encouraging sport for persons with disabilities”.
The All for Sport for All project aims to assess, progress and highlight the future direction and perspectives of sport for people with a disability in Europe in the categories participation, workforce, infrastructure and events. The project has the objective to contribute to better access to a wide network of opportunities in sport for people with a disability by mapping the status quo and then providing a detailed action plan for future challenges and activities and by developing a Strategic Working Group for Sport for Persons with a Disability in Europe, in order to build self-confidence, motivation and learning skills through sport so that citizens and young people with disabilities can lead more independent lives.
The partnership responsible for carrying out this ambitious working plan is composed of 17 organisations gathering a mix of key stakeholders of the sport sector, from 12 different EU countries, such as Paralympic and Olympic Committees, universities, European networks and national decision makers (Sport and Education Ministries).
The project will be exhibited in the Conference hall of the EU Sport Forum 2010 organised on the 19
th and 20
th of April 2010 in Madrid (Spain) by the European Commission together with the Spanish EU Presidency and which will gather main stakeholders from the Sport and Active Leisure sector.
