PHYSICAL LITERACY AND INCLUSION: PEDAGOGICAL-ORGANIZATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
Abstract
Motor-sports activities have a formative, educational and above all inclusive value for every person, regardless of age, gender and the presence of any disabling physical or mental condition. In this perspective, physical literacy becomes a pedagogical and organizational tool capable of stimulating education for inclusion on the one hand, and on the other tends to promote a series of multiple social, psycho-physical, educational and relational benefits.
