The Italian Sitting Volley cup turns the spotlight on Ancona - as a center of disability and inclusion - with the project launched in schools, entitled “We play Sitting Volley”. In the meetings in schools, which will continue in 2024, the only sporting discipline that completely eliminates the distances between disabled and non-disabled people is illustrated and put into practice: they play together, sitting, without being able to move their pelvis from the floor.

The initiative - presented in recent days by councilors Zinni and Berardinelli - is the result of collaboration between the Municipality of Ancona, the regional guarantor for human rights and the Fermana Volleyball School, third nationally in Serie A, a pioneer of the discipline which, in collaboration with the Federation, with the MIUR and the comprehensive institutions that have given credit to a project to promote a sport with a strong inclusive value and easy to implement in local schools.
