International Disability Inclusion Conference: Harnessing the transformational impact of Para sport

The conference will be structured around:

• A Multistakeholder Forum (27 August – room II), featuring thematic sessions on Para sport and physical activity; accessible infrastructure and equipment; physical education and play; representation and visibility; and data collection and research. Discussions will identify challenges and showcase good practices and innovative solutions to remove existing barriers for inclusive and accessible sport opportunities.

• A Head of States and Ministerial Meeting (on the morning of 28 August – room I). This session will bring together Heads of State, Ministers of Sport, Inclusion and Equality, other governmental authorities and development banks to agree on concrete steps that will foster the disability inclusion agenda in and through sport.

By harnessing the collective efforts of governments, private sector entities, sports organizations, and advocates, the conference aims to propel forward a global movement within the Fit for Life Alliance, dedicated to realizing the full potential of Para sport as a catalyst for social change and inclusion.
