Barcelona have signed a partnership with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the Agitos Foundation, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.
The foundation, which is the development arm of the IPC, implements projects to provide pathways into grassroots and competitive para sport, using sport to facilitate inclusion.
It will work alongside Barcelona's corporate social responsibility organisation, the FC Barcelona Foundation, as well as the IPC, to grow sports projects that achieve social inclusion for people with impairment.
The collaboration includes the development of Agitos' 'I'mPossible' programme, which was launched globally on 3rd December.
FC Barcelona Foundation's programme for children with an impairment, developed under the name FutbolNet, uses soccer as a tool to promote positive values among young children through teaching methodologies, and will also be brought into the collaboration.
New content that includes five para sports will give recommendations for the inclusion of people with impairment in order to overcome barriers to their active participation.
