EOSE - All For Sport For All - Encouraging Sport for Persons with Disabilities

 

The All for Sport for All: Perspectives of Sport for People with a Disability in Europe project is a conjoint project led by the European Observatoire of Sport & Employment (EOSE) and the European Paralympic Committee (EPC) and is funded by the Preparatory Action on Sport of the European Commission.

 

The project aims to assess, progress and highlight the future direction and perspectives of sport for people with a disability in Europe in the categories of policies, participation, workforce, infrastructure and events.

The All for Sport for All project has the objective to contribute to better access to a wide network of opportunities in sport for people with a disability by mapping the status quo. Then it will provide an Action Plan for Future Challenges and it will develop a Strategic Working Group for Sport for Persons with a Disability in Europe. As a result EU citizens and young people with disabilities shall be able to build self-confidence, motivation and learning skills through sport, and to lead more independent lives.

 

The project is conducted from 01 March 2010 till 28 February 2011 by 17 organisations from 12 European countries.

 

The European partnership is gathering a strong mix of key stakeholders of the sport sector such as Paralympic and Olympic Committees, Universities, European Networks and National Decision Makers.
