A total of 27 participants took part in the camp, including 15 children and 12 coaches. The program created a unique space for children with and without disabilities to learn, play, and grow together, while coaches from all three countries had the opportunity to exchange good practices, share innovative ideas, and observe different approaches to working with children through sport.

Daily activities included rowing, swimming, coastal walks, and outdoor sports games, designed not only to strengthen physical abilities but also to encourage teamwork, inclusion, and personal growth. Children and coaches alike enjoyed an inspiring program that once again demonstrated that sport is a universal language – one that everyone can speak, including children with intellectual disabilities.

All the knowledge, experiences, and practices gained throughout the INSPIRE project will be summarized and presented in a comprehensive Toolkit. This resource will be made available to swimming coaches who wish to include children with intellectual disabilities in their training sessions, providing them with practical methods, strategies, and inspiration to foster inclusive sport environments.

The INSPIRE project, through its final activity in Bulgaria, highlighted the power of international cooperation and the role of adapted physical activity in building bridges across cultures, fostering inclusion, and creating opportunities for every child to thrive.
