Sport is one of the most powerful tools that can support the inclusion process and in a gentle way present an opportunity for the mentioned target group to feel accepted and part of a group. #BeActiveTogether project aims to analyse the link between sport and inclusion in an innovative and different way – by ensuring international participation in sport activities of persons with intellectual disability and/or mental health challenges. #BeActiveTogether will contribute to all of the three main themes as the activities we are planning with the current proposal will add extensive value to the feeling of persons with intellectual disabilities that EU rights are their rights as well. For example, our right as European citizens of moving and residing freely that is reflected in the commitment of the EU “to ensure that persons with disabilities have a real right to freedom of movement as others.” will be applied on practice through the planned international #BeActiveTogether sport event that aims to ensure the feeling of moving and residing freely in the participants with disabilities. The following Outputs will be developed to achieve the project aims mentioned above: * Good practices toolkit edition #BeActiveTogether; * Empowered sport experts and organizations that will continue utilizing the tools that #BeActiveTogether will develop in the project framework and onwards. * Delivered international sport event #BeActiveTogether that will gather persons with intellectual disabilities from Bulgaria and Greece after set of national trainings sessions in each country; "
