Each of the four federations involved in the implementation of the W-Slalom Project, FECPC, HPO, ÖBSV and PCAND, they made an analysis of their focus group, separating the groups into two categories: FG1 (teachers, coaches, sports technicians, physiotherapist, school / club directors, etc.) and FG2 (children, caregivers, family members). Above, you will see the results of participation obtained by the four institutions.
​ 
During the sessions we observed a high participation of the female gender, and a greater attendance of the FG1 group. The invitation is for families and childrens (FG2) to participate more in these calls, since they are the ones we want to reach and transform. 

On the first of December will take place the third Training of Trainers of the Wheelchair Slalom Project, the first one in the Catalan capital. Àngels and Ingrid, experts of wheelchair slalom from the Catalan Sports Federation for People with Cerebral Palsy (FECPC) will lead this formation for futures local coaches.

The specific objective of Training of trainers is to develop a training and awareness raising programme to promote wheelchair slalom among sporting bodies and other relevant stakeholders working with the target group.
​
This will be the third Training of Trainers after the previous two that were done in Zagreb and Vienna. You can find more details about this formation in our events page.

During the CPISRA World Games - Sant Cugat 2018 we interviewed the Austrian team.

Since the Catalan Federation of Sports for People with Cerebral Palsy (FECPC) presented the Wheelchair Slalom project looking for alliances, the Institute for the Social Research of Italy (IRS) was in as a partner to proportionate the investigation, evaluation and monitoring of the project.

The main goal of the WSlalom project cofounded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union is to promote the social inclusion of children and young people with physical disabilities from 6 to 18 years old, promoting "wheelchair slalom" as a sport capable of improving physical abilities and producing psychological benefits.

Developing a training and awareness program to promote wheelchair slalom among sports organizations and other stakeholders working with the target group, we would activate a pilot action in project partners of sports organizations in Spain, Austria, Croatia and Portugal.

The IRS has the task of designing a social impact plan with the objective of revealing the individual and community social changes to which the program has contributed.

​One of the task of the Erasmus Programme to develop the Wheelchair Slalom around Europe was to release a new book of rules specially designed for those who want to practice wheelchair slalom under 10 years old and under 18.

After weeks of work considering all the variables and consulting with experts with years of experience in the sport, the project partners created the Promotion Adapted Wheelchair Slalom Rules For U10 & U18.
