Abstract

The Olympics for Kids is an additional project which goes aside other social sport-adapted innitiatites: The Paraolympics and The Special Olympics. Its main purpose is to promote cooperation, as well as to put together the various sportspeople and Physical Education students with children, teenagers, and younsters with any kind of physical and mental disability. The project requires a newer understanding and knowledge of the urban space, which would enable the physical activities associated with a non-competitive approach. The guided sample of the groups is based on the constant participation of the commmunity health agents who work throughout the city. Due to the uniqueness of the project, the results will be presented at the end of the year in another paper.
