Room for New
In addition to the official competitive sports, Special Olympics Switzerland is continuously developing so-called Project Sports. These emerge where demand grows or where we specifically prepare for the future – for example, with a view to the Special Olympics World Games 2029 in Switzerland.
This is how we create new opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities to discover their passion for sports.
