Every child deserves the opportunity to play, move, and feel part of a team.
Unfortunately, many children with disabilities still face barriers that prevent them from participating in sports. These barriers may include inaccessible facilities, limited opportunities, or misconceptions about what they are capable of achieving.

Sport teaches children that success is rarely achieved alone. Whether playing bocce, skiing, traditional wrestling, or participating in adapted games, teamwork becomes an essential part of every activity.

Inclusive sport means creating opportunities for all children to participate, regardless of disability, background, gender, culture, or personal circumstances. It focuses on removing barriers instead of highlighting differences.

Children do not naturally focus on differences—they simply want to play, learn, and make friends. Sport creates the perfect environment for this to happen.

In today’s digital world, children spend more time in front of screens than ever before. While technology offers many opportunities for learning and communication, it has also reduced the amount of time children spend being physically active and interacting face-to-face with others.

Sport is much more than running, jumping, or winning a game. It helps children grow, make friends, build confidence, and enjoy an active lifestyle.

Traditional wrestling (Narodno hrvanje) is among Serbia’s oldest sporting traditions, dating back centuries to rural communities where wrestling competitions formed part of local festivals, religious celebrations, and community gatherings.

Bacanje kamena s ramena (stone throwing from the shoulder) is one of the oldest traditional athletic disciplines in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The sport has its origins in rural communities, where physical strength was essential for everyday agricultural life.

Few sports are as closely connected to a country’s identity as skiing is to Slovenia. Thanks to its Alpine landscape and snowy winters, skiing has been part of Slovenian life for centuries.

Boćanje, internationally known as bocce, is one of Croatia’s oldest and most cherished traditional sports.
