Welcome to the SMILE Podcast: Empowering Lives Through Sports and Inclusion
Welcome to the SMILE podcast, where Sport, Motivation, Inclusion, Leadership, and Engagement come together to create a transformative experience. We are thrilled to take you on an inspiring journey into the heart of the #SMILE initiative.
At its core, SMILE stands for Sport, Motivation, Inclusion, Leadership, and Engagement – a groundbreaking initiative funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union. Join us as we delve deep into the mission of SMILE, exploring the powerful connection between sports and inclusion in a truly innovative way.

Ever wondered why international participation in sports holds such immense significance, especially for individuals with intellectual disabilities and mental health challenges? The answer lies in the profound impact of sports. Beyond the physical aspects, sports encompass ambition, emotion, and inspiration. When individuals with intellectual disabilities are given the chance to participate in sports on an international stage, lives are transformed. It's about shattering barriers, dispelling stereotypes, and fostering a sense of belonging that extends far beyond the boundaries of the playing field.
Throughout this podcast, we will guide you through the various facets of #SMILE – from national sport trainings to international events, the creation of practical guides, impactful awareness campaigns, and the enduring legacy of SMILE through our augmented reality application. You'll also have the opportunity to hear directly from the athletes whose lives have been touched and transformed by this incredible initiative.

Join us as we celebrate the power of sports, motivation, and inclusion, making a lasting difference one smile at a time. Stay tuned and be inspired by the incredible stories of resilience, achievement, and empowerment brought to you by SMILE.
