PARALYMPIC SCHOOLS
Paralympic School Day
The Paralympic School Day (PSD) is
an educational programme initiated by the International Paralympic Committee
(IPC) which aims to create awareness and understanding in schools about persons
with a disability. The IPC created a PSD kit containing a set of activities and
background information, which can be used to educate children and youth about
Paralympic sport, individual differences and disability issues in a fun and
playful environment.
The PSD kit has been created by specialists in Paralympic sport, disability and
pedagogy to provide the skills, knowledge and resources to conduct a successful
Paralympic School Day. The kit mainly consists of a PSD manual and a series of
activity cards.
All PSD materials are available for download here
PSD Materials.
But the learning does not have to stop here. Disability awareness is something
that can be included in lesson plans throughout the year. The IPC would like to
encourage teachers to participate in the PSD programme and thereby joining
schools worldwide to foster awareness and positive attitudes in your students
towards persons with a disability and to work for the full integration of
students with a disability in the classroom.
Online Games - Paralympic Sports
Channel 4 (UK), the official broadcaster of the London 2012 Paralympic Games,
has developed two (very addictive) online games featuring the Paralympic Sports
of wheelchair rugby and boccia.
This is a great fun way to educate students about the rules, tactics and
excitement of two of the great Paralympic Sports.
