Message from France Education International

France Education International is pleased to share the final steps of the European project IDI4SPORT. In this final year, our focus is on showcasing the inclusive practices we’ve developed and implemented throughout the project.

To support this, we organised various activities, including school and club-based sports events, a conference in Paris (developed in the previous Newsletter), and a consortium meeting in Madrid. Now, our goal is to ensure the project’s legacy continues by making our tools and insights widely accessible and sustainable.

A key challenge is promoting inclusive sports, such as mixed adapted sports, and sharing our educational tools in a clear, user-friendly format on lasting platforms. To achieve this, FEI is partnering with INSEI to create a training module, soon available on the FEI platform. This module will help sports professionals to explore how inclusive sports can bring together people with and without disabilities, fostering greater social cohesion.

Be an IDI4SPORT ambassador

The project has entered its final phase, with a special focus on dissemination actions that are being carried out at both national and European levels to share the outcomes of the project and to reach as broad an audience as possible.

As we anticipated in the previous newsletter, six events are held in 2025, one in each participating country, along with a final international conference in North Macedonia in October 2025 that will serve as the culmination of the project. These events will be the occasion to showcase the results of the project, to learn more about inclusion in and through sport, and to gather relevant actors at national and European levels. We hope to see many of you there!

To achieve this, your support, dear reader, will be crucial. We count on you as an ambassador for the project within your organisation, country, or professional network to ensure that the project, along with the information and tools developed within its framework, reaches as many individuals and stakeholders as possible, maximising its impact in both the short and long term.

Consortium meeting in Madrid – 11 to 13 March

Alberto Aguilera Hall (Madrid) at the Pontificia Comillas University hosted a new transnational meeting of the European IDI4SPORT project on March 11th, 12th and 13th.  Participants reviewed the status of the project, worked on its final phase, and prepared for the next transnational project meeting, which will take place in Skopje (North Macedonia) in October.

Work focused especially on the communication plan to maximise the impact and visibility of the project at the national and European level, its sustainability in the short, medium and long term and a final report with recommendations for regulatory bodies at the national and European level.

On the afternoon of Wednesday 12th, the project partners went to the High Council of Sports where they were received by representatives of the Council and the Spanish Paralympic Committee and visited the High-Performance Center where top-level Spanish athletes live and train.
