The Erasmus Project of the European Union made an exhibition in the 8th European Youth Games for the Disabled in Brno, Czech Republic with the participation of Austrian and Czech athletes.

The inclusion of the WSlalom inside the Emil Open Games of Brno was a milestone and a great opportunity to publicize the sport and keep growing together. About 15th athletes of Austria and Czech Republic had the chance to practice and enjoy with Wheelchair Slalom in a public square. For the Czechs it was the first touch with the sport, since they are not members of the Erasmus project. Activities like the exhibition in the Emil Games is one of the aims of the project.

5 partners from Catalonia (FECPC), Austria (ÖBSV), Croatia (HPO), Portugal (PCAND) and Italy (IRS) are working to develop Wheelchair Slalom around Europe for one year and a half with the support of the UE. Now we enter on the final stage of the project, producing video resumes of all the process.
