The Inclusive Orienteering for All or shortly IOFA is an Erasmus+ co-funded initiative, which aims to make the sport of Trail Orienteering more accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable for everyone, particularly individuals with disabilities and sport operators. The project brings together organizations from Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Hungary, Italy and Spain, each with unique expertise in promoting inclusive sports and Trail Orienteering.
IOFA will focus on the needs and challenges faced by two target groups: individuals with disabilities (mainly mobility disabilities) and sport operators (coaches, trainers, event organizers, club managers). By engaging people with disabilities in all phases of the project and ensuring their participation in training sessions, the project will promote social inclusion and integration.
Inclusive Orienteering for All aims to achieve several key objectives. First, it will develop and disseminate guidelines for organizing grassroots Trail Orienteering events, tailored to local public bodies and individuals with disabilities. Next, it will create educational materials for schools, youth organizations, and sport clubs to promote Trail Orienteering and encourage participation, particularly among people with disabilities. Additionally, the project will raise awareness about Trail Orienteering among the general public and policymakers, highlighting its unique characteristics and potential for inclusion, and advocating for its recognition as a valid sport discipline.
This initiative fosters international collaboration, sharing knowledge and expertise, and developing user-friendly tools and resources. It promotes social inclusion through sport by addressing the needs and goals of partner organizations and target groups, thereby breaking down barriers and creating inclusive environments within Trail Orienteering.
