UK Deaf Sport's new youth engagement programme is here!
January 2025 saw the public launch new exciting and engaging programme. It is the culmination of months of planning and design and marks a new direction for UK Deaf Sport, as it moves to engage with the deaf educational sector.
Mapping UK Deaf Sport's mission to see every deaf person active and inspired by sport and physical activity, Destination Deaflympics is aimed at 8 to 16 year olds, using the Tokyo 2025 games as a focus point.
Young people will travel a sporting journey to the November Tokyo Deaflympics, trying out new activities with friends and learning about Deaflympians, Deaflympic sports and the DeaflympicsGB team along the way. Primary and secondary differentiated activities build excitement, with participants marking countries off in their passports, celebrating their progress and success and finally, getting ready to enjoy the 2025 Deaflympics!
Using the programme resources, teachers, coaches and community leaders in deaf settings can enable students to reach the following objectives:
- To describe what the Deaflympics are, where they are being held, who is involved, when they will be happening and what sports are involved.
- To explain the different competitions that DeaflympicsGB Team will be involved in, their previous successes and their motivations.
- Use their new skills to develop an interest in getting more active and taking part in deaf sport.
