From Cornwall to the local contexts
In February, in Cornwall, the participants of Come In
worked hard to plan inclusive activities to be carried
out in their own contexts, to address the needs of
their territories including people with and without
disabilites. Below we introduce some of the activities
implemented so far. In the UK, the participants
organized training activities in Cornwall, involving
the staff of several sports centers with the aim of
increasing their skills to carry out inclusive activities
aimed at promoting the psycho-physical wellbeing
of those who practice sport at grassroots level. In
Rome, RitmicALL - rhythmic gymnastics for all,
took place as a free inclusive rhythmic gymnastics
lesson for children aged 5 and over. Two activities
were implemented in Abruzzo region. All Around...
Basketball involved the first grade students of the
G. Rossetti secondary school of Vasto. Theory and
practice allowed participants to learn basic basketball
techniques, through adapted sports activities. The
project will end with a final event that will involve
families and citizens of the region. In Roseto, a
village in Abruzzo, a basketball team made up of
20 boys aged between 14 and 35, with and without
intellectual disabilities, was involved in training
sessions designed to improve two fundamentals of
basketball: passing and dribbling. In Piemonte
region, the first phase of the Educadendo Project
ended involving in preparatory sessions in the field of
martial arts, sixty children from three kindergartens,
including pupils with intellectual disabilities, physical
disabilities and Special Educational Needs.
Appointment in Rome on May 19th
The results of these and other activities will be
presented on 19th May in Rome, when the COME
In team will meet within the Roma Sport Experience
event, organized by OPES, to evaluate together
the route taken and to plan the next steps aimed at
promoting sport for all.
