Our goal is to create a network of organisations and institutions to work together to combat discrimination and empower refugee with a disability to use Sport to get included into sociey.

The STEADY Project aims to:

• Develop a wide Network of Promoting Equal Opportunities of Young Migrants and Minorities with disabilities in Sport.
• Involve Refugees with disabilities to a greater extent in the promotion of “sport for all” in cooperation with sports organizations, especially in order to reach a younger population and reduce intolerance and discrimination;
• Involve social sector and national human rights institutions to a greater extent in combating discrimination in sport, promote their co-operation in running awareness-raising activities, and authorize these bodies to participate in legal actions brought to improve access to sport for all
• Showcase best practices from across Europe at international, state and local level
• Present how Paralympic committees, Sport Federations governing Paralympic Sports & NGOs can use sport as a tool to cultivate tolerance and social inclusion sharing expertise between relevant stakeholders at international, national and local level.

Expected results

Greater awareness and knowledge about appropriate methods among sport administrators how to counter the social exclu- sion of refugees and migrants with disabilities in their associations or clubs
Learning from paralympic sports organizations and transfer of knowledge to other sports on mainstreaming intercultural action and equal op- portunities’ policies.
