We are seeking individuals who work with or have regular contact with youth with autism, particularly those aged between 13 and 20. This project focuses on promoting the inclusion of youth with autism in sports by introducing innovative methods and utilizing VR technology. The first transnational event will be held in Treviso, Italy, for four days, where participants will be trained in facilitation techniques, VR usage, and strategies to encourage inclusion in sports for these youth.
The project will focus on producing key outputs, such as:
- Local Mapping on Inclusion in Sports: A local mapping to analyze the current state of inclusion in sports, focusing on young people with autism.
- Video Course: A training video on how VR technology can be used to promote sports inclusion for youth with autism. This will include practical demonstrations, facilitation techniques, and strategies to create inclusive environments in sports.
- Local Analysis of Social Interaction Barriers: Local analysis in country to identify barriers to social interaction between people with and without autism in sports.
The project is aimed at youth workers, teachers, volunteers, and anyone working with youth with autism or in similar support roles. If you are involved in such work and are interested in joining, please consider participating in this unique opportunity.
