PREFERAL - Promoting equality for fewer opportunities

The PREFERAL project is an Erasmus+ initiative focused on promoting social inclusion and personal development for people with fewer opportunities by using sport and outdoor activities as tools for empowerment. The project aims to address the barriers faced by individuals with disabilities, marginalized groups, and those from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ensuring equitable access to sports and fostering community integration. These activities target educators, coaches, and athletes, enhancing their skills and knowledge to support inclusive sports training, with an emphasis on adaptive sports for people with disabilities. The methodology of the project is based on a participatory approach, engaging stakeholders such as athletes, trainers, and educational institutions in the design and execution of activities. This approach is complemented by a robust monitoring and evaluation system to measure progress, ensuring that the needs of the target groups are effectively addressed. The integration of digital tools facilitates knowledge sharing and provides easy access to inclusive training materials. The project’s goals are aligned with Erasmus+ priorities, including promoting equality, mental health awareness, and innovation in youth development through sport. Targeting 200 individuals to engage in project activities, such as training, seminars, and workshops. Aiming for an 80% engagement rate on the online platform for coaches, educators, and athletes. 50 trainers will be equipped with specialized knowledge in adaptive sports by the project’s end. Reaching 500 individuals through dissemination events and social media campaigns. At least 85% of participants will express satisfaction with the training and resources provided. Aiming for a 25% increase in the participation of people with fewer opportunities in sports activities after engaging in PREFERAL-led initiatives. that is published through this page expresses the views of the project beneficiaries only and it does not represent the views of the European Union or the European Commission.
