The “Four-minute BarrierS” project aims to include visually impaired young people, organising sport activities that involve sighted and visually impaired people .

The project is based on the idea that encouraging a VIP, particularly a child, in getting involved with sport is fundamental for: their locomotor development and the related motor skills; mental development such as space recognition, movement construction; psychological wellbeing, increasing the self-confidence and love toward themselves; social skills development connected with a high-quality inclusion in the sighted society high level health quality.

Like Roger Bannister tore down an invisible barrier when he ran a mile in less than 4 minutes, this project aims to tear down barriers creating a new sport: “Visiball” involves sighted and VIP playing on the same court at the same time, creating real inclusion and interaction.
