\nSome of the stories told in this Blog are centenary, sometime even millennial.\nSome other ones, on the other hand, are young, current, perhaps our witness is a helps them being written.
\nMixed Ability<\/strong> is one of those. A philosophy, an approach, a movement that is building itself over the years, in order to create possibilities of change in sports.\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n

\nSuch theory is inspired by the awareness that many people still suffer for the barriers<\/strong> they face in their sport practice. They\u2019re about physical and intellectual impairments, age, gender, social background, poor self-perception. Since sports cannot divide, English organization IMAS \u2013 International Mixed Ability Sports<\/strong> (www.mixedabilitysports.org) has been working for some years to encourage the discourse related to such topic.
\nIMAS philosophy is summarized in a manifesto<\/strong>, developed around specific keywords:
\n\n–\tWellbeing and happiness<\/strong>: sports are aimed at improving; for this reason, human beings cannot be isolated by stigma and\/or prejudice;
\n–\tEqual participation<\/strong>: Mixed Ability supports collective ways to gather and belong (a team, for example);
\n–\tInclusion and equality<\/strong>: sport must be accessible to both established majorities and minorities;
\n–\tSame rules<\/strong>: Mixed Ability disciplines are not adapted. On the contrary, they preserve the same rules of mainstream disciplines, only with minor adjustments to take into account individual participant needs;
\n–\tMembership and belonging<\/strong>: non need to be separated, classified or labelled;
\n–\tRemoval of barriers<\/strong> to let marginalized communities challenge the stabilished status quo and gain access to equal participation.\n\n<\/p>\n\n

\nMixed Ability also aims at creating teams composed by members of all genders and ages, both able-bodied and with disabilities, whether professional or not. One of the first disciplines embracing this philosophy (also in Italy) was rugby<\/strong>: in the words of Martino Corazza, IMAS cofounder and director, \u2018playing is the only goal, as well as embodying values such as passion and solidarity. Expressions like <\/em> \u2018You can\u2019t do this\u2019 or<\/em> \u2018This could be dangerous for you\u2019 are not allowed here. Everybody does everything, according to personal abilities. Persons who didn\u2019t even know about sports have now gained dexterity, self-consciousness, motility\u2019. <\/em>
\nGuided by such new awareness, Fondazione FILA Museum embraces Mixed Ability as an inspiration for the future, with projects aiming at intercepting its inclusive possibilities.\n \n<\/p>\n\n
