Did you know that Special Olympics International (SOI) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) are two separate organisations recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC)? Both are non-profit global sports organisations focusing on athletes with disabilities. What Makes Us Different? THE ATHLETES Special Olympics athletes have intellectual and developmental disabilities. Athletes of all ability levels have the opportunity to train and compete in over 30 Olympic-type sports. Through the power of sports, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills, and success. GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT Special Olympics is the largest grassroots sports organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the world: reaching over 4 million athletes and Unified Sports® partners, one million coaches and volunteers, Special Olympics delivers nearly 50,000 games and competitions every year over 200 countries. WORLD GAMES Special Olympics World Games are held independently from the Olympics & the Paralympic Games. Alternating every two years between summer and winter, Special Olympics World Games are the flagship events and have grown to be an international demonstration of inclusion, acceptance, and unity. All around the world our athletes train and strive to achieve their very best every day. The next Special Olympics World Winter Games will take place in Turin, Italy in 2025 – JOIN US. #Turin2025 #specialolympics #ChooseToInclude Special Olympics Special Olympics France Special Olympics Italia

"There is no way for us as human beings to understand what confidence is unless we’ve felt fear. There is no way for us to appreciate success unless we’ve really screwed up. There is no way for us to recognize true happiness unless we’ve navigated sadness." In this insightful piece, SOEE President & Managing Director David Evangelista reflects on vulnerability, truth, and the vital role our movement plays in supporting some of the world’s most marginalized communities.

Every month, our ‘Meet the Team’ series takes you behind the scenes at Special Olympics Europe Eurasia to get to know one of our regional team members. This month, we are meeting David Stephen Evangelista, President and Managing Director of Special Olympics Europe Eurasia. In this role, David oversees a vast region of almost 60 countries. He describes the key focus of his work as supporting and empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities and building sustainable multi-sector networks of support to make inclusion a reality for all throughout Europe-Eurasia. To those interested in pursuing a career in inclusive development, David Evangelista recommends gaining a deep understanding of international relations and how these interconnected relationships shape the world around us. “International relations forms the basis for creating connectivity throughout the region- blending experiences with values, principles, a common vision, despite the often vast differences in culture, ideology, economy, and politic.” David travels the breadth of the Europe Eurasia region in this role and finds himself energized by the multitude of opportunities to learn from Special Olympics athletes and the diverse set of cultures that make up the movement. In his words, “Inclusion is both a contact sport and an urgent global issue. Only as a collective can we, as a connected international community, affect this change.” In his spare time, David enjoys reading up on international relations and history, playing golf, cooking, and music. #SpecialOlympics
