The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 75 AN INITIATIVE ACCELERATED AS A RESULT OF THE GAMES COURSE TO TRAIN CLUBS HOW TO ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES Paris 2024 supports and jointly funds a course with Paris City Council and the French Paralympic and Sports Committee to train 20 sports clubs in Paris how to accommodate people with disabilities and create parasports departments for September 2021. Training modules designed in this context can then be used to replicate this initiative elsewhere in France with a view to assessing results and constantly improving. In addition to these courses, Paris City Council and Paris 2024 have teamed up with the French Paralympic and Sports Committee and parasports departmental committees to break down barriers to sport for people with disabilities. The long-term goal is to replicate this initiative on a larger scale, which is why a variety of other initiatives have been introduced to help clubs set up their own parasports department, including: • raising awareness of the range of parasports on offer; • making special equipment available; • providing access to suitable facilities. © – Martinns/Getty Images
