The Algarve project “Ginástica com Todos” is in the final of a European competition

Three winners will receive 10 euros each

The Algarve adapted sports project “Gymnastics with Everyone” is one of the finalists of the “#BeInclusive” award from the European Union, whose winners are announced on November 21, in Brussels (Belgium). 

“Ginástica com Todos” brings together the Algarve Association of Parents and Friends of Mentally Diminished Children (AAPACDM), the Algarve Gymnastics Association and the Grupo Desportivo e Cultural do Enxerim (Silves).

Like the Sul Informação already told in an article, this project created an adapted gymnastics class, bringing together people with and without disabilities.

The idea is to dispel prejudice and show that, even someone with some kind of disability, can also play sports.

After the success already achieved in the Algarve – and in Portugal -, this nomination is another step taken by “Ginástica com Todos”, which will compete with eight other European projects of inclusive sport.

The three winners will be announced on November 21 and will each receive €10. The remaining projects will be awarded 2.500 euros.
