Personal developmentContext
The Catalan Sports Federation for Cerebral Palsy is responsible for developing sport for people with cerebral palsy throughout Catalonia. The Fent Esport women’s programme works with schools throughout the territory, explaining to girls with brain damage and their families that they too have the possibility to play sport and organising training and competitions for them, locally and internationally.
Project goals
- Get more girls with brain damage playing indoor football, seven-a-side football and other sports to increase their social inclusion
- Increase the number of participants in Catalonia, including as part of a regional competition that feeds into the national team, with the possibility of big events like the European championship and the World Cup
- Increase awareness of brain damage and the realities of people with cerebral palsy
Project content
Fent Esport creates local groups that can train together, based on the geographic proximity of participants. For the first month, the groups will be supported by the federation, which organises the technical staff, venue and logistics. The groups will train together all season, in June they will then travel to Denmark for a weekend of matches and in July their Danish counterparts will come to Barcelona.
