CISV

CISV is an independent, non-profit international association, affiliated to UNESCO. It offers the opportunity for children, young people and adults to experience the charm and richness of cultural differences.

In  fact, CISV firmly believes that investing in the interaction between children with different cultural backgrounds and promoting opportunities for constructive confrontation in respect of different points of view  helps them to  respect and understand differences, recognize similarities, develop self- awareness and thus reduce the possibility of conflict.

THE DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE AND THE  STUDENT SERVICES OFFICE (INCLUSION SECTOR): A NEW PROJECT TOGETHER

 The Student Services Office (Inclusion sector), through the collaboration with the Department of Medicine, wants to promote the culture of movement and physical activity among students with disabilities enrolled at the University of Padova.

The activity consists in a personalized approach to movement, physical activity or sport that must give the students with disabilities an opportunity to perceive their body, optimize residual capacities and make the most of them for a positive insertion in the study and work environment.

The project, born from an idea of Prof. Andrea Ermolao of DIMED, in collaboration with Prof. David Sacerdoti and the Student Services Office ( Inclusion sector), is structured in such a way as to allow each interested student to meet a dedicated physiatrist for an evaluation of their needs and, subsequently, to participate in 8/10 meetings customizable in terms of time. Such meetings will be held within the didactic gymnasium of the course of studies in Technical Sciences of preventive and adapted motor activity  in Sant’Eufemia street, Padova.

BASKIN

Baskin is a sport inspired by basketball and suited for anyone because, thanks to the changes made to some rules, it adapts to the diversity of people allowing them a real participation in the game.This sport is based on the principle of equity and both males and females can actively participate with any kind of disability that allows shooting in a basket. Baskin was born in 2003 in Cremona, from an idea of Antonio Bodini and Fausto Cappellini. In 2006 the Baskin Association was established with the aim of promoting this sport throughout the country and in 2017 the protocol of understanding of the MIUR for the promotion of Baskin in schools was signed. Today it is a sport practiced throughout Italy with regional championships of different levels.

In 2016 Baskin started to be practiced also in Padova thanks to Massimo Caiolo, who founded the Baskin Padova team with his collaborators.
