Move-Thrive-Connect World Cafe Event

Description

On 14th April 2025, we were delighted to welcome young people with physical disabilities, their families, public representatives, healthcare leaders, and community sports professionals to our Move-Connect-Thrive: World Café – see our video here. Together, we aim to support and inspire young people with physical disabilities to engage in physical activities and sports for their health and well-being.

We recognise the barriers faced by people with disabilities, from environmental challenges to societal attitudes. The CP-Life Research Centre’s recent publication on the top 10 priorities of young people with physical disabilities highlights these issues and guides our efforts to engage more young people in physical activities.

Collaboration is key to our success. Our Move-Connect-Thrive event fostered partnerships between healthcare, disability services, sports, and the community. We have much to learn from each other, and we are excited to create and develop these partnerships with young people and their families, whose experiences are central to our goals.
