In a report published on 13 November, the International Paralympic Committee highlighted an exhibition in Zagreb’s Zrinjevac Park. Its 15 panels trace the work of the Croatian Paralympic Committee and Allianz Croatia since 2011. The projects include a public homecoming for Croatian medallists after the Rio 2016 Games and programmes that introduce schoolchildren to Para sport.
According to the IPC, the Paralympic School Day programme has reached more than 60,000 pupils. A separate project offered free sessions for children with developmental disabilities in 20 cities between 2013 and 2015. Certified coaches led those sessions.
Croatian Paralympic Committee president Ratko Kovačić said that children need suitable conditions and professional support to keep taking part. He said more than 50 coaches work through Croatia’s national Para sport development programme. The exhibition shows how schools, clubs and coaches can help more children take their first steps in sport.
