Flexible Orienteering Introduces Inclusion in Sport in the Cross-Border Region

The CBC in FlexO project, supported within the Interreg VI-A Hungary-Croatia Programme, kicked off on the final weekend in January with their opening event and a series of workshops aimed at making the orienteering sport accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of their physical or mental health challenges. The three organisations involved in the project - „Tájfutásért–Pécs” Alapítvány, Orijentacijski klub Varaždin and Zselici Tájfutó és Szabadidősport Egyesület - will spend the next year educating and training both the organisers of orienteering events as well as the potential participants in order to make the activities available to any and all interested. At their first event in January there was already an opportunity to support a person of reduced mobility in taking part in the activities by introducing the Flexible Orienteering concept into their usual events.
