From 6 to 9 August 2026, Niš, Serbia, hosted the Final Event of the project Inclusive Boccia, bringing together project partners, participants, and stakeholders to present and celebrate the results achieved throughout its implementation. The event provided an opportunity to reflect on completed activities, evaluate the project’s impact, exchange experiences, and discuss sustainability and possibilities for continuing the project’s results beyond its official duration.
As part of the Final Event, an Inclusive Boccia event was also organized, promoting participation, inclusion, and equal opportunities through sport. The event was organized in Niš by Hate Fighters Network (HFN) and the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Niš.
