From lack of funding to upcoming parasport games, All Things Parasport contains discussions covering all aspects of sports. What's your opinion?
ProjectEcho focuses on the impact of mega parasport events on parasport in general and the larger disability community. In this category, we try to break down and simplify research on disability sport, physical activity, and mega parasport events. We hope to engage with you, on how you interpret or resonate with the research. After all, the findings from the research are used to make policies and decisions that ultimately affect you.
How has the pandemic impacted your involvement in sport and physical activity? Have there been new opportunities created? Do you feel further marginalized? Share your opinion about how the pandemic has shaped the parasport experience.
Each month, Project Echo will host a live Zoom discussion where featured panellists will deep dive into a sea of parasport topics. While tuning into the discussion, a synchronous forum will be live under this thread so you can contribute to the discussion through sharing your personal experiences, asking questions, and engaging in meaningful conversation. Our first Deep Dive Discussion will be on October 27th at 1:30 PM EDT or 6:30 PM BST.
Join the chat nights and keep the conversation going!!

In this series, we invite some leaders in the parasport community to have a conversation with us about the legacies of major parasport events. In this series, we'll address the most pressing topics that impact, threaten, or even bolster these legacies. Among these topics, we will touch on the impact of COVID-19, returning to sports, and media.
We would appreciate participation in the focus groups. You can simply add your comments, answers, solutions and further questions to this forum or fill in the linked questionnaire.
Walk down memory lane with us, as we look back to past games and reflect on their subsequent legacies. Share your own memories and opinions around participation opportunities, accessibility, and inclusion that have resulted from these games.
