Access to Sport - Children with disabilities - Environmental protection - Gender Equality - Personal developmentContext
Kosovo is the poorest country in the western Balkans, according to the World Bank. Around 100,000 people are disabled, including 38,000 children who are not in school.
Educational disparities are particularly severe among Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities, 45% of whose children do not attend school.
There is a significant lack of investment in inclusive school infrastructure, especially sports halls. Most schools lack accessible facilities and adaptive equipment, further marginalising disabled children and limiting their opportunities.
Project goals
Main goal
Create inclusive physical education environments in three schools.
Specific objectives
- Give access to inclusive education and accessible sport facilities to the children most impacted by inequality and discrimination
- Support teaching staff with inclusive tools and a guide to inclusive sports activities, to provide personalised instruction that is tailored to each child’s abilities and needs
- Organise awareness-raising campaigns and peer-to-peer engagement as a result of which children and communities experience increased inclusion and reduced stigma
Project content
- Adaptive devices and equipment for three schools to create accessible education and sports activities
- A guide and training on inclusive sports practices, education and participation for up to 100 teachers
- Child-friendly awareness raising campaigns, including a promotional video and social media content, and recreational initiatives to promote inclusion and reduce stigma for the children most impacted by inequalities and discrimination
