Call for Hosts, Inclusive Playgrounds Awareness Event!
Here at the Inclusive Fitness Coalition we believe it is time to find and celebrate inclusive playgrounds and/or playgrounds with specific inclusive elements. Current research points to the playground as an optimal space for children to learn, develop, and exercise, which highlights the need to create accessible and inclusive playgrounds for children of all abilities in every community.
The IFC is calling for advocates, community groups, families and other related organizations to host an awareness event focusing on inclusion at various playgrounds across the world. These playgrounds will serve as prime examples and models of accessibility and inclusion for children and families of all abilities. By planning an event in your community you can help spread the word and educate others who may not be aware of the benefits of inclusive design & play!
By informing the Inclusive Fitness Coalition of your plans for holding an awareness event, we can help disseminate this information about your event and spread the word to others who may want to participate. Participating playgrounds/groups will be submitted for possible inclusion in a series of articles for national magazines, in addition to the IFC website and newsletter. Celebrate your efforts and invite people across the world to join you in this important endeavor!
