The Physical Activity and Sport Task Force of the Global Partnership on Children with Disabilities has announced the winners of the Inclusion by Design Impact Award.

The first-ever winners of the Inclusion by Design Impact Awards are:

  • First Prize: The Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (RP) – Bangladesh
  • Second Prize: The Inclusion Club Ltd. (online)
  • Third Prize: No Barriers USA

The award was set up to inspire and share practices around the world that demonstrate excellence and innovation in their approach to achieving more inclusion for children and adolescents with disabilities.

The Task Force, led by UNICEF, the Lakeshore Foundation, the Institute for Human Centered Design and the American College of Sports Medicine, received a total of 33 impressive applications from all corners of the globe. The applications were evaluated based on 7 criteria with support from a review panel made up of representatives from IFAPA, IPC, Special Olympics, UNICEF, UNESCO, the GPcwd, and a member of the GPcwd Youth Council.

The first place prize winner, the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) in Bangladesh, will receive US$1,000 for their innovative approach to creating lifelong friendships among children with and without disabilities through sport and play at the community level. They have developed a very simple system by which children with disabilities are the ‘gate keepers’ of low-cost durable sports resources (e.g. traditional games, board games, cricket sets, etc.).

The resources are accessible to everyone and if children with and without disabilities wish to play with them, they have to do so in cooperation with the ‘gatekeeper’. The programme was started in 2014 and has reached more than 1,200 children with disabilities and another 3,000 without, from 25 schools and 60 villages. CRP has captured information showing positive changes in the attitudes of the children in these communities, as well as among the community leaders, school management committees and local religious leaders.

The second place winner, the Inclusion Club Ltd, will receive US$500. The Inclusion Club was launched in July 2011 as a free online resource designed to share good practice in sport and active recreation focused on people with disabilities worldwide (http://theinclusionclub.com). It includes unique audio-visual content, information, resources, ideas and tools to assist practitioners in including more people with a disability in what they do.

The third
place winner, No Barriers USA, will receive $250, for their innovations in making outdoor recreation accessible to people with disabilities in a variety of diverse environments. In 2006, No Barriers started the programme “Leading the Way”, in partnership with world-renowned blind mountaineer and No Barriers board member Erik Weihenmayer, that brings together youth of varying abilities and socioeconomic backgrounds to explore the outdoors. They have gone to remote places like the Grand Canyon, Peruvian Highlands, Kilimanjaro and the Peruvian Amazon.
