The main objective of the project was to find natural inclusive activities based on sport elements which would support inclusive environment in the school classes and would help those with specific or special needs to become equal and valuable part of the class. We wanted to support pupils' understanding of inclusivity and bring them personal experience about the differences in competition and cooperation attitudes. The support of mental and physical health of the pupils was another objective we wanted to achieve by the project realisation; build a stronger immune system and beat the beginnings of more serious psychological problems, such as feelings of loneliness, lack of motivation and depression which had arisen during the COVID-19 pandemic period in larger numbers. Sport collectives can bring the team spirit. Shared feelings of success make the success even bigger, shared feelings of failure can be an example of how other children cope with these difficult situations. Team of pupils in a competitive environment has to cooperate well to succeed and sport rules based on a fair-play system make the frame in which pupils learn how to respect the others.
The need of inclusivity in education grew even bigger due to effect of COVID-19 pandemic. It has been always needed not to exclude those pupils who have got some specific educational, physical, psychological, social, economic or any other difficulties, because such an exclusion would lead to more serious problems and not wanted and expected effects of pupils´ school education. There has been quite a lot of programmes including school assistants who help with educational side of the school performance of those with special needs. But there were not many activities which would focus on inclusive environment in the class, natural cooperation of pupils with those who struggle with specific learning disadvantages. We realised that there is such a tool which can be used as a natural way of inclusion support and has got very good side effects connected with good health, strong immunity system and raise of self-awareness. The tool which we wanted to shape during the project realisation was s port. We wanted to choose certain elements of sports and use them as inclusion activities which would support inclusive environment in the school classes and school society.
