A school administrator and handball chairman reveals how 55 students with disabilities challenge his community's inclusion efforts.

The episode is a live panel debate recorded at Foreningsfestival 2026, focusing on children's well-being and inclusion in sports, specifically handball. Hosted by Mediano Håndbold, it features three panelists: Per Skogård, a school administrator and chairman of Dansk Håndbold Mids; Carina Klarsgaard, a social innovator from Roskilde Håndbold; and Jørgen, representing the NGO specialsport.dk. The discussion opens with definitions of inclusion, highlighting the importance of community and belonging. Jørgen presents data revealing a significant drop in sports participation among children in special schools compared to general peers. Panelists explore whether handball can accommodate everyone, debating the need for special teams versus integration into general offers. Carina emphasizes that 15% of children have diagnoses, urging associations to adapt their core values. Practical challenges are addressed, including the lack of pedagogical training among volunteer coaches and the role of frameworks and structure. Jørgen describes specialsport.dk's online courses for associations, focusing on communication and behavior tools. The conversation shifts to parent cooperation, with panelists discussing how to involve parents as resources rather than obstacles. Examples from Roskilde Håndbold's initiatives, like Lykkeliga and Roskilde Unique, illustrate successful inclusion models. Throughout, themes of voluntary community, curiosity, and dialogue recur, with panelists stressing that inclusion benefits all children and enhances the association experience.
