Description of the initiative
- Aim of the project:: fighting prejudices using sport as a medium
- As part of a social cohesion initiative, this event aims to create a collective, multicultural dynamic and interaction between people with disabilities and people with disabilities.
- For the most part small, it is an opportunity to go beyond linguistic, social and geographical barriers with sporting, cultural and social activities. It is above all a multicultural and intergenerational meeting both sporting and cultural and it responds to the philosophy of the European Agency Erasmus + France Youth & Sport combining social bond, living together and citizenship.
- 3 major themes derive from the program.
A large part of the activities was dedicated to sports initiation (climbing, basketball, badminton, football, rugby touch). Most of them were taken care of by the hosts of the host city. The second component consisted of ice breaking activities (to break the ice in a playful way) to build a common foundation and finally a final component dedicated to cultural activities. A large part of the young people were foreigners and were able to discover France via activities such as a cocktail party organized by young people, a visit to the Louvre or a ballad in fly boats. - Our goals were to change the view of others on the difference and especially on small people. The interactions with the other young people (the able ones), the elected officials of the city, the volunteers were occasions to bring each of them to have a reflection on what concerns him in the differences and the change of look.
