Ramps4Champs

📍 As part of the M.O.RE Summit – Masters of Retail, members of LOUD ΚοινΣΕπ ένταξης and athletes from ΑΣ ΑμεΑ ΑΕΤΟΙ Θεσσαλονίκης presented their work and activities to representatives of businesses and organisations, while also promoting boccia through the project . 🏆

👥 The event brought together more than 200 participants and provided an important opportunity for awareness-raising, networking and meaningful dialogue with stakeholders from the business sector.

🎯 A key objective of our participation was to encourage greater business engagement and highlight the important role companies can play in promoting:

♿ social accessibility
🤝 inclusion
🏅 inclusive sports

Because meaningful change begins when organisations, athletes, businesses and society work together to create a world where everyone belongs. 🌍💙

The strategy is introduced in a simple and accessible way, exploring:
🔵 positioning
⚪direction
🔴the power of shots
⚪different ways of achieving objectives in the game

Accuracy is developed through practical activities that encourage control, concentration and individual improvement, always prioritising personal progress over competition.

Throughout the sessions, participants are also encouraged to make decisions, choose between different options and adapt their actions in the face of new challenges. These experiences help to develop:

✌️confidence
👌independence
👍problem-solving skills

Inclusion remains the central focus of all activities, ensuring that every participant, regardless of their abilities, can actively participate in strategic planning and decision-making processes.

The module also promotes working in pairs and small groups, reinforcing communication, cooperation and joint decision-making.

The main objective is to encourage increasingly conscious, active and meaningful participation, whilst always maintaining a positive, inclusive and mutually supportive environment. 🎯

Exploring BC3 Boccia: Basic Skills in Practice
It's time to get into action!

This module introduces the basic skills of BC3 Boccia in a practical way, with a continued focus on inclusion and active participation.
Once trust and team spirit have been established, participants will begin to explore fundamental game techniques, such as:

Our Focus: The goal is not to achieve technical perfection, but rather to enable each participant to find their own way of playing and progress at their own pace.

Activities are carefully adapted to individual abilities, encouraging experimentation, autonomy, and learning through practice!
