A campaign that promotes the right for children with disabilities to inclusive physical activity, physical education, sport, recreation and play.

Inequalities and discrimination span from community and school-based physical activity programmes, like physical education, to organized and informal sport and recreation programmes, to access play spaces like community playgrounds, as well as sporting and leisure venues.

Its time to end the exclusion of children and adolescents with disabilities from…

physical activity and all associated areas.

Participation in quality physical education is important for developing physical literacy.

Well-organized inclusive physical activity and sport programs can have a positive impact on social cohesion.

Every child has the right to leisure and to engage in recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child.

For young children, play in particular, allows for exploration and the development of fine motor skills.

Increasing physical activity and sports for children with disabilities is a societal, not just an individual responsibility, demanding a multi-sectoral, multidisciplinary, and culturally relevant approach.
