Asociatia Babilon Travel: Joining “The Impact of Us 2” for a More Inclusive Future!

Asociatia Babilon Travel (ABT) is excited to announce our participation in “The Impact of Us 2,” an Erasmus+ KA1 youth exchange taking place in Zagreb, Croatia, from October 23nd to October 30th, 2024. This project will brin together 66 young participants from Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia for a week of transformative experiences centered around sports, inclusion, and intercultural dialogue. This project is funded by the European Union.

Our Mission: Empowering Youth Through Inclusion

 At ABT, our mission is clear: we are dedicated to promoting inclusion, fostering intercultural dialogue, and using adaptive sports as tools for empowerment among young disabled people and those facing fewer opportunities. We believe in the potential of every young person to thrive, and this project aligns perfectly with our commitment to active European citizenship and social inclusion.

Building on Previous Success

 “The Impact of Us 2” is a continuation of the project “The Impact of Us” from 2022, which achieved significant success in empowering youth through sports and social inclusion. The first edition inspired participants to boost their self-confidence, improve their social skills, and stay active despite challenges. Our involvement in this new project will expand these successes and further enhance the opportunities available to young people.

This initiative was developed with input from young individuals facing disabilities and fewer opportunities. They identified key barriers in their lives, such as limited access to physical activities, lack of professional support, and insufficient inclusive spaces. “The Impact of Us 2” aims to tackle these challenges head-on, creating a safe environment where participants can grow physically and emotionally.

One of the strengths of “The Impact of Us 2” is the collaboration among partner organizations like Taekwondo Klub Maksimir from Croatia, ArTeam from Bulgaria, and Babilon Travel from Romania. Together, we aim to create a holistic approach that breaks down stereotypes and empowers youth to take charge of their lives. By fostering an inclusive environment, we ensure that every participant feels valued and capable of achieving their full potential.

Looking Ahead: A Bright Future for Youth

As we prepare to send our youth to Zagreb, we are filled with anticipation for the experiences that await. “The Impact of Us 2” embodies the spirit of Erasmus+, showcasing how youth-led initiatives can drive meaningful change in addressing real-world challenges.
