ASEAN Para Sports 5.47

Throughout the Vision 2030 series of conversations, people were united on the need for inclusiveness in the sporting community. Everyone should be able to experience the benefits of living better through sports, regardless of ability, age, gender, status, race or religion. We recognise that there are gaps in our existing sports delivery system. However, under Sport Without Boundaries, we are committed to providing everyone with the opportunity to access the sports programming, physical space and people-support they need to live an active and healthy lifestyle through sports, anywhere, anytime, anyhow—a premise developed by the Subcommittee Balance to the Rhythm of an Urban Lifestyle.
The Subcommittee posited the following: Imagine sport built into the urban environment, debunking the myth that sporting opportunities are limited and time is a constraint. Imagine people playing sports in a space of their choice
– a park, near an HDB block, waterways, a dedicated sports facility, a sports club or in a room full of professionals.
If we can imagine it, we can do it. Sport Without Boundaries will expand the access and opportunities available for people who are ageing, impoverished, at risk, disadvantaged or have a physical or intellectual disability. The more inclusive approach advocated by Vision 2030 will expand the opportunities for people to lead more upwardly mobile lives - as they learn essential skill sets through sports.
