Since Monday, Parasport Week has been organized by regional special sports district associations and RF-SISU.
For the first time, Parasport Uppland is involved.
- The goal is to create contacts and arouse interest in parasport, says Elisabeth Aveholt Franzén, secretary of Parasport Uppland, which was previously called Uppland's handicap sports association.
The week has consisted of, among other things, lectures and workshops and on Sunday, those who wanted to try out different sports for people with disabilities.
Tennis, carpet curling, bocce, dancing and shooting were some of the items on the agenda.
- I have played boules since 1987 but after I had a stroke it does not fit as well anymore - but bocce suits me very well. It is important with sports, especially for the social and to meet new people, says Björn Knösch.
