02.11.2026
Bulgarian sports development association (BSDA) organised a five-day training course in Sofia dedicated to inclusive physical education and creating more opportunities for children and young people with severe disabilities to participate in sports. The training was held as part of the international project Ramps4Champs 2.0 – School Edition, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
The main focus of the training programme was BC3 Bocce – a Paralympic sport that enables people with severe motor impairments to actively participate in sports activities using specialised equipment, including ramps and assistive devices. Over the five days, the training focused on methods for adapting sports activities to the individual abilities of participants, creating an accessible and supportive environment, and applying educational approaches through sport. Special attention was given to the role of physical education teachers, coaches and sports professionals in ensuring equal opportunities for participation among students with and without disabilities.
BC3 Bocce was presented not only as a sporting discipline but also as a practical tool for developing cooperation, mutual respect, communication and teamwork. By introducing inclusive sports practices into school settings, the project aims to overcome barriers to participation and foster positive attitudes towards people with disabilities. The training is part of a broader process of developing and implementing educational resources designed for teachers, coaches and sports organisations. The goal is to support the sustainable integration of BC3 Bocce into school and extracurricular sports activities, creating meaningful opportunities for children and young people of different abilities to participate together.
