The Young Paralympic Camp started yesterday at the Rovisco Pais Rehabilitation Center, in Portugal. This project aims to attract young people to adapted sport, seeking to awaken the interest of new practitioners for Paralympic sports.

Smiles are the brand image of this project, which combines sports activities with an environment of fellowship and learning. The program aims to provide participants with a positive and motivating experience in the universe of sport for people with disabilities.

The Rovisco Pais Rehabilitation Center, located in Portugal, hosts this initiative that represents a bet on the training and discovery of young talents for national Paralympic sport. The project is part of a broader strategy for the promotion and development of adapted sport among the youngest age groups.
