InSport

From March 2–5, 2026, Kardzhali hosted the kick-off meeting of the INSPORT – Inclusive Sports for All project, bringing together representatives of partner organizations from Bulgaria and Turkey united around the common mission of promoting inclusion through sport for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The meeting was organized within the framework of the INSPORT project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, and marked the official launch of a new international partnership focused on creating more accessible, supportive, and inclusive sport environments for children of all abilities.

The INSPORT project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, promotes the social inclusion of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) through sport. The initiative builds on the belief that sport is not only a physical activity but also a vital tool for social connection, self-expression, and equality. Despite the progress made in inclusive education and community integration, children with IDD still face multiple barriers to participation in structured sport programmes.
