School edition- building a more inclusive environment at school through BC3
The Ramps4Champs 2.0 – School Edition project focuses on promoting social inclusion through sport, specifically targeting students with severe disabilities. It aims to create inclusive environments where individuals with disabilities and their able-bodied peers can engage in sports activities, particularly the Paralympic sport BC3. The project aligns with the EU’s “Inclusion and Diversity” priority by fostering tolerance, inclusion, and anti-discrimination values while working closely with educational and sporting communities to promote equal access and participation in sports.

Approach/Methodologies
The project is a 24-month cooperation involving research, production and development, and piloting to facilitate the achievement of project objectives. Five work packages have been identified, each containing a series of activities that the partners will implement in a collaborative spirit, and from which the production of project materials, both tangible and intangible, will be produced. Furthermore, the project revolves around the implementation of 3 phases, which comprise the central WPs of the project. In this scenario, WP1 and WP5 are vertical to the project dynamics. in fact, they comprise the managerial and promotion dynamics of the activities underlying the success of the project itself. Each of the phases described below is essential to be completed to be able to move on to the implementation of the activities envisaged in the subsequent phases, thus having a propaedeutic character.
