It is an indisputable fact that the joy of movement is a basic human need. And sport multiplies this joy - it brings the opportunity to "be together", to form a team, a group, or a community, as it is called today. I therefore have great respect for all those who spend their energy and effort to make the unique experiences associated with sport available to others. Therefore, I wish all the participants of the European Disabled Youth Games Emil Open not only great competitive performances, but above all, to enjoy the joy of movement and of "being together" as much as possible.
