ALL»IN: DEVELOPING PATHWAYS OF LIFELONG PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR PEOPLE WITH A DISABILITY IN EUROPE

The express purpose of the project was to establish a cross-sectoral cooperation model at a European sub-regional level that allows for integrated pathways of lifelong physical activity for people with a disability. This called for a holistic approach at a trans-national level; with a clear strategic view and practice-based problem-solving. The ALL»IN PROJECT took on these needs and established a cross-sectoral cooperation model at a European sub-regional level that developed, exploited and implemented good practices for integrated pathways of lifelong physical activity for people with a disability. With it, the project has addressed both solutions for current weakness in super ordinated governance in disability sports and developed practice-based creative solutions for individual, but highly connected challenges. For it, a cross-sectoral team of local to national stakeholders from the entire Nordic sub-region, enriched by experts and European organisations, collaborated through five Knowledge Hubs in the areas of: Marketing; Recruitment; Competition; Education/Classification; and Governance. All outcomes were processed into transferable learning elements to be exploited by single organisations or other sub- and macro-regions in Europe. The vision is that the ALL»IN PROJECT will help disability sport stakeholders to establish cross-sectoral pathways at a trans-national level and that these create sustainable higher day-to-day participation in sports and lifelong physical activity for people with a disability. The ALL>>IN activities has first and foremost regarded structural meetings, networks and other exchanges. Milestones of the the project were a Disability Sport Recruiting and Inclusion Day, a Cross-national/regional Youth Sport Participation Event, an ambassador’s campaign, a Regional Classification Seminar/Training Workshop, the elaboration of Governance Guidelines for the Nordic cooperation of Parasport and the creation of an e-platform.
