IPC Introduction To Para Sports
_________
The IPC today
The Paralympic Movement follows four major values:
Courage, Determination, Inspiration and Equality
These beliefs also focus on the athletes, their talents and their accomplishments, so that the athletes act as role models for the vision and aspirations.
The IPC has made this philosophy part of its Constitution and used it as the guiding underlying reference for this Strategic Plan. Hence references are found throughout this document which link back to the very essence of the Movement.
The athletes and the Paralympic Games are at the heart of our Movement. Their performances and incredible stories teach the values of acceptance and appreciation for people with a disability.
The Paralympic Movement builds a bridge which links sport with social awareness thus contributing to the development of a more equitable society with respect and equal opportunities for all individuals.
