Adaptive Surfing Camps for people with an impairment & First European Adaptive Surfing Seminar

Erasmus plus

Project

  • Voluntary activities in sport
  • Social inclusion
  • Awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical activity equal access to “sport for all”
  • Boys and girls with disabilities do not enjoy the same opportunities to practice sport as their able-bodied peers
  • Children and youth with an impairment do not have an easy access to “gliding sports” such as Surfing.
  • Support for people with disabilities who wish to practice sport (e.g. the cost of equipment, training of the staff and adaptation of sport facilities).

About Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura, the island with the oldest history, has the longest beaches of all the archipelago, of wonderful fine sand. Only a narrow channel separates Fuerteventura from the African continent. Fuerteventura is an ideal destination for surfers (the island has an important place on the windsurfing World Cup circuit) and for diving fans, thanks to the caves, tunnels, overhangs and rock formations to be found on its ocean beds. Fuerteventura, declares a Biosphere Reserve and Starlight Reserve fro the whole islands territory, has more than 48,000 hectares of protected area where you can lose yourself. Its natural monuments, parks and landscapes are living witnesses of its volcanic origins. Such as the lava fields, home to an endless variety of highly valuable native flora and fauna, which are thoroughly protected by many environmental projects. More info:
