Emilia and Kamile will create opportunities for youth with and without intellectual disabilities to participate in a summer fitness camp and engage in youth leadership workshops. Emilia and Kamile’s project will bring together individuals with and without intellectual disabilities together to form friendships both on and off the field.

Over six months, Emilia and Kamile will recruit and train approximately 12 individuals on Special Olympics programming. This group will attend a summer fitness camp where they will learn about physical fitness and sports skills. After completing the fitness camp, participants will engage in a series of workshops where they will discuss inclusive youth leadership. As a celebration of what participants learned, Emilia and Kamile will host a Unified workshop during the European Futsal tournament in Kaunas where they can educate others about the importance of the Unified Generation. Through their project Emilia and Kamile will be able to expand Unified Sports programming and awareness across Lithuania.
