INVICTUS - Inclusion via Culture of Sports
Martial arts and physical activity is much more than a mere means to improve body shape or practice “fighting”. It can help young people develop healthy lifestyles, but it can also teach essential life skills, help with a personal development process and build self-confidence and self-appreciation of young people.
This is especially true for young people with disabilities and fewer opportunities. Martial arts and outdoor activities can help youth in this target group to develop a wide range of social skills and improve their inclusion in the society. The Human Capital Model lists “Equity for persons with disabilities, as well as social inclusion & acceptance of people with fewer opportunities, as some of the most important outcomes of martial arts and physical activity for this target group.

Objectives of the project are:
1. To develop skills and key competences of young people with disabilities and/or fewer opportunities needed for their full participation in society
2. To use martial arts and physical activity as methods to develop health, self-confidence and self-appreciation of young people with disabilities and/or fewer opportunities
3. To sensitize the public to promote acceptance and diversity of people with disabilities and/or fewer opportunities in their local communities
4. To promote social inclusion of young people with disabilities and/or fewer opportunities through sports and physical exercise
5. To learn about and embrace the cultural, physical, personal and other differences, so that diversity becomes a positive source for learning rather than the cause for negative competition and prejudice.
