Matthias and Thomas are Special Olympics Youth Leaders from Austria who will lead a Youth Innovation Project to introduce a new Unified Sports program in Unified Schools to promote social inclusion through shared experiences.
Matthias and Thomas’ project will implement Unified floorball training and competitions and will empower individuals with and without intellectual disabilities the opportunity to create friendships on and off the field. By promoting social inclusion through shared sports and social experiences, Matthias and Thomas hope to recruit new Special Olympics Youth Leaders to join the Unified Generation and create inclusive sport opportunities across Austria.
