The ambition that drives the organizers is the ability to look at the future from a common perspective of inclusion and accessibility for people with intellectual-relational disabilities. Intellectual-relational disability is a widespread condition, which appears to be growing among the younger generations and represents approximately 80% of the disabilities worldwide. Scientific research has shown that participation in sporting activities and Judo programs can have social, salutogenic and well-being benefits for people with disabilities, especially during the developmental age.
