The Badminton for All (B4ALL) European Online Seminar will take place Thursday, 13 May 2021, and is an event not to be missed. Here we present all the information you need to be well equipped for the great opportunity. 

The seminar will be delivered by the Spanish Badminton Federation (FESBA) along with Badminton Europe Confederation (BEC) through the Erasmus + Program Badminton for All (B4ALL).

Badminton for All’s main aim is what the name suggests – the make badminton accessible for all. It is a European network aimed at promoting inclusive badminton, which develops initiatives, activities and resources to aid this noble mission. 

B4ALL has promoted specialised training for volunteers, coaches and referees with inclusive methodologies for the practice of badminton. 

The European Seminar aims to present the results of the B4ALL project to other organisations in Europe in order to share the experiences and implementation of the inclusive badminton practice model, which supports the European strategy on disability and the specific objectives of the EU Erasmus+ Program: Sport. 

The execution of the Seminar by videoconference will facilitate the participation of representatives of many European and international entities, with great relevance for its general dissemination and to give continuity through the use of the developed sources. 

Lots will be covered in the seminar. Amongst many other topic areas, speakers will discuss the structure of the ERASMUS project, impact dissemination, sustainability, teaching badminton for all levels, e-learning, inclusive approaches and the next steps for the B4ALL Project.
