Special sports school collaboration
Together with Lev – Life with intellectual disabilities, the University of Southern Denmark and the three foundations; Egmont Foundation, Novo Nordisk Foundation and TrygFonden, we have been given the opportunity to scale the ‘sports internship initiative’ to special schools throughout Denmark. Here, we help special needs students to get involved in leisure activities in close collaboration with the school, parents and the local community.




Specialsport 2.0
Want your school to join?
Should your school also be involved in systematically helping your students get involved in clubs and associations?
Specialsport.dk, Lev and the University of Southern Denmark have joined forces to create a major national initiative that offers all special schools throughout Denmark the opportunity to participate – at your own pace and as it suits your student group.
Hear founder and leader Trine Ravn talk more about the results from Sports Internships 1.0 and how the concept can be scaled across Denmark.
What do those who are already doing it say?
"In my opinion, one of the big differences between Specialsport and many others who swarm for this target group is that they are stubborn that nothing should stand in the way of becoming active in a club.
If the children/young people and their families have the motivation, you will find the way.
The huge amount of work that goes into it is the reason for its success. And it really is a great success!!!"

"I feel that the collaboration with Specialsport has helped make club life a possibility for our children. And that parents who may have gotten acquainted with clubs before now dare to believe in it again, as there is now help available in relation to the barriers they have experienced. I think the most important thing for the collaboration we have with specialsport is that there are some passionate people who come out who are passionate about what they are really good at. And that's very contagious, so everyone believes that it can succeed."
