Sports is at the intersection of bring diverse and disabled people in need of inclusion together for the common good, succeeding with one sport that reaches around the world with a common language called Judo.
Early in 2017 the UNESCO Chair met Ron C. Peck, Co-Founder of the Blind Judo Foundation after seeing the Shine On Hollywood Magazine article about the two Co-Founders and legendary Coach Willy Cahill, former US Olympic and US Paralympic Judo Coach with his inclusion and diversity of creating over 1500 national and international champions in the sport of Judo.
Sports is the catalyst for drawing people together regardless of ethnic, social, economic, religious or political backgrounds including those with disabilities. Inclusion or as Catherine calls it “Inclusivise” is a new term conveying the expansion of diversity transcends barriers where sport can succeed where weapons have failed.
When people are talking about building walls, sport can build bridges.
The power of sport and major sport events can be leveraged to create social legacies. Disabled athletes have consistently proven they have the right to complete and participate in sport, physical education and fitness as demonstrated by the Blind Judo Foundation.
