Train4Family

The #Train4Family International project meeting in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina, on 3rd and 4th April 2024, was a landmark event, significantly advancing the project's objectives. Initiated by host's welcoming speech, the gathering quickly moved into productive presentations and discussions by Partner Associations, highlighting collaborative achievements and future strategies. Key discussions centered on the project management plan, state of the art, dissemination plans, and the development of an e-learning platform, which were interspersed with networking breaks that enriched participant connections.

On November 16, 2023, the first meeting of the consortium, which will implement the #Train4Family initiative, gathered representatives from partner organizations in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Turkey, Italy, Slovenia, and Spain. The partners discussed the project's activities, the project timeline, as well as the initial steps to kick off the work on #Train4Family.

Families play an important role in society, both in human sustenance and individual development. Sport has tremendous potential for bringing parents and children together in a healthy and playful environment. Children with disabilities often lead a passive lifestyle due to a lack of adapted sports content and unhealthy nutrition which has negative consequences on their health. Families of children with disabilities are usually not properly instructed in the methods of conducting sports or nutrition by which they could contribute to improving the lives of their children.
