The training for coaches and professionals working with wheelchair basketball players from partner countries has been successfully completed!
During the training, the newly developed Training Module was tested and evaluated. Participants adopted new methodologies to improve their work with players, helping partner clubs gain more visibility and recognition within local and sports communities.
This training created space for knowledge exchange, practical learning, and discussion about how to improve inclusion, accessibility, and coaching practices in wheelchair basketball. It also encouraged participants to implement new methods in their local communities and support the growth of adaptive sports.
Barcel’hona Sports Events from Spain, together with Association of wheelchair basketball clubs from Serbia Savez Klubova Košarke u Kolicima, Club for Youth Empowerment 018 (KOM 018) from Serbia, Portuguese Basketball Federation from Portugal Federação Portuguesa de Basquetebol, Irish Wheelchair Association from Ireland and Association for sport activities of persons with physical disability – wheelchair basketball Hope Sport (WBC HOPE SPORT) from North Macedonia implements project “Building Bridges” in order to foster international cooperation in the field of wheelchair basketball. Sport serves not only to promote healthy habits but also stands out as a valuable instrument for fostering social integration and the inclusion of individuals. Engaging in sports helps bridge personal differences, making it easier for people with disabilities to integrate and become part of the communities. Project objectives are 1) To increase the competences and knowledge of the coaches who work with basketball players in wheelchairs, 2) To create opportunities for athletes in the wheelchairs and 3) To raise awareness and give visibility to wheelchair basketball and increase sporting activity among people with disabilities. Project is co-funded by the European Union, through Erasmus + Sport, in the period November 2024 – October 2025 and will be implemented in Spain, Portugal, Serbia, Ireland and North Macedonia.
