30.08.2024
In the period 27-30 August 2024, an international sports event was held within the Orienteering with Snorkeling project in Sakarya, Turkey. The initiative is aimed at young people with physical disabilities and their partners, and included a total of three Bulgarian pairs of athletes, as well as participants from Turkey and the Republic of North Macedonia.
The local activities were implemented in partnership with ParaKids – a project of “Shark” Sports Club Association, which provides sports for children with disabilities, spinal curvatures and overweight. ParaKids' mission is to make sport accessible to all, regardless of their ability, by aiming for every child to be physically active and have a choice of a variety of sporting activities.
The project has achieved significant success, with each successive session building on the previous one, allowing participants to develop their skills and confidence. The activities of the Orienteering with Snorkeling project proved to be extremely successful and provided meaningful and memorable experiences for all participants. The positive feedback from coaches, families and children highlights the importance of inclusive sports activities and their potential to bring communities together.
OR. with SNORKELING is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union and is going to be implemented by an international consortium from Bulgaria, Turkey and the Republic of North Macedonia. The Bulgarian partner of the initiative is the Bulgarian sports development association. The international event was attended by specialists from the Adapted Physical Activity and Sports Sector at the "Vasil Levski" National Sports Academy.
