Regional inclusive movement, sport, health and leisure offers

From 2018-2022, implementation project IV was part of the innovation focus B "Social innovation as a prerequisite for quality of life and health" in the Regional Innovation Centre Health and Quality of Life Fulda (RIGL-Fulda).

Not all physical activity, sports, health and leisure activities are open to people with disabilities or chronic illnesses. The barriers can be manifold: personnel as well as organisational or technical framework conditions can make participation in offers difficult or prevent it.
In an exchange with regional stakeholders, findings already gained on the current inclusion orientation of the offers in the region, participation opportunities and limits for people with impairments and disabilities as well as the need for further development are evaluated.

The Department of University Sport, in cooperation with the Department of Social Work, is implementing the project for the Fulda region in collaboration with 17 regional and supra-regional partners.

Studies conducted at Fulda University of Applied Sciences indicate that participation in exercise, sport, health and leisure activities - also for people with impairments - is an essential component of quality of life. University sport can act as a regional interface and mediate between inclusion research and organised sport in a region where inclusion sport is weak. The inclusive movement, sport, health and leisure opportunities in the Fulda region are to be optimised by using this interface function within the framework of the implementation project.

The core of the project is the participatory development and expansion of an inclusive physical activity offer in the region. For this purpose, multiple awareness-raising, training and support concepts for potential decision-makers and providers are developed and implemented. In order to draw attention to the project throughout Hesse, supra-regional events are used.

Findings already gained on the current inclusion orientation within the framework of municipal, commercial and civil society offers in the region, participation opportunities and limits for people with impairments and disabilities as well as the need for further development will be evaluated in an exchange with regional stakeholders, such as the Hessian Association of Sports for the Disabled and Rehabilitation, the interest group barrier-free Fulda and the antonius Netzwerk Mensch. Based on this, print and digital media offers are being developed that provide information about regional offers for inclusive exercise, sport, health and leisure opportunities. A "buddy pool" with volunteers who support and accompany people with disabilities in their search for suitable exercise, sports, leisure and health opportunities will be established.
