Inclusive Education for Sustainable Development
Project Status
The project is innovative due to its use of sports as a tool for education and inclusion. Sport can play a key role in the lives and communities of children with and without disabilities. There is a wealth of evidence to support participation in sports and physical activity for people with a disability. Numerous studies have revealed that physical activity and sport participation result in improved functional status and quality of life among people with selected disabilities. According to research “sport and physical activity has been linked to improvements in self-confidence, social awareness and self-esteem and can contribute to empowerment of people with disabilities.” Sport and physical activity has been found to positively influence self-confidence and self-esteem and can contribute to empowerment of people with disabilities.
The programme focused on:
- Promoting demand for inclusive education through parenting programme, media & community engagement.
- Implementing and sustaining innovative approaches using sports as a tool for inclusion and participation of children with disabilities through systematic documentation and knowledge management as well as engagement with pre-service and in-service institutions.
- Developing a model for local level planning and action for universal secondary education as per SDG and institutionalising education of children with disability into it.
