Pillar 6
Sports and Disabilities
Breaking Barriers, Redefining Limits
Sports have the power to unite, empower, and transform lives regardless of physical ability.
This pillar focuses on how athletes with disabilities train, compete and break barriers in both adaptive and mainstream sports. We’ll dive into the importance of inclusive training environments, coaching strategies and the accessibility of sports facilities. Beyond competition we’ll explore how movement and physical activity contribute to overall well-being, rehabilitation, and social inclusion.
From community programs to elite-level performance disability sports are evolving, challenging outdated perceptions and proving that ability is what truly matters. How can we continue to make sports more accessible? What support systems, policies, and innovations are needed to ensure equal opportunities for all? This discussion is about more than just athletics—it’s about reshaping the way we view sports and inclusion in everyday life.
