Project Overview

Hockey4All is an Erasmus+ Sport small-scale partnership that uses hockey to encourage children to respect differences, cooperate and participate in sport together. It focuses particularly on making regular physical activity more accessible to children with and without intellectual disabilities.

The project connects sports organisations, schools and communities through inclusive sporting activities, coaching exchanges and awareness-raising events. Following the earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş on 6 February 2023, project activities resumed and provided opportunities for participating children and families to reconnect through sport.
