The GIFT project - "enGIneering For sporT for all" - proposed by the Interdepartmental Laboratory E4Sport, in which the Department of Design is involved - saw a multidisciplinary group of researchers share their expertise to ensure that sport and sporting activity are no longer a reason for social exclusion for children with motor disabilities.

The aim of this project was to design innovative solutions to facilitate sports activity in children with disabilities. To this end, the researchers worked on raising awareness among families, schoolmates, teachers, and sports associations, so that motor disability is no longer seen as an insurmountable limit to sporting activity.

The GIFT project wants to promote the possibility of a "SPORT FOR ALL", to improve the quality of life of children with disabilities, specifically with a diagnosis of hemiplegia. The project is developed through:

• technological research that sees the development of innovative orthoses that allow the execution of motor activity;
• social research for greater awareness of sport as a recreational and educational experience that must be allowed even in disability.
