inclusion in sport

The event stands for the increasingly important topic of inclusion in sport. While the Olympic Games take place every four years and do not include athletes with disabilities, the Paralympic Games offer a platform for these athletes. But there is often a balancing act between exclusion and inclusion: a thought that always arises in the discussion about sports reporting. Critics emphasize that the perception of disabled sports often suffers from clichés and prejudices and the question arises as to why these sports cannot be integrated into the Olympic Games, as [Life Life is active] (https://projektlebattakt.com/2021/08/25/paralympics-ein-spagat- between-und--und-inchion/).

The event "Inclusive wins" addresses this topic directly by trying to promote the visibility of athletes with disabilities and at the same time to raise awareness of the challenges of inclusion in sport. A successful mix of sports, fun and awareness formation is waiting for all visitors. Remember that the journey is possible both by public transport, bus lines 580, 631, 697 and tram line 91, as well as by car, but there are only limited parking spaces available.

For everyone who cannot be on site, there is the possibility to watch the event live via the RBB from 6:05 p.m. on television and stream. A real event that should not be missed - whether when celebrating, cheering on or simply experiencing! Be there and support the athletes on an unforgettable day!
