Mario Pappagallo
CSEN National Vice President
President of Rome CSEN

What does Integrated Sport represent for the CSEN?
The concept of educational sport is an integral part of our name: this implies that we consider a person more important than their sport performance. Therefore, the opportunity to hold integrated sport activities is at the same time a firm belief and a challenge.......

INTERVIEW TO CSEN PROVINCIAL PRESIDENT OF GROSSETO MR ALESSIO PERNAZZA

What does integrated sport represent for you?
It represents what you have mentioned: simply Sport, nothing more, nothing less than sport. In our view Integrated Sport is not something we have a moral obligation to grant to people with disabilities, integrated sport is a real sport activity everyone can do, compete in and -why not- also a way to get personal gratification through competitive events.

INTERVIEW TO CSEN PROVINCIAL PRESIDENT OF MONZA- BRIANZA, MRS DELIA PIRALLI
Delia Piralli
CSEN Provincial President of Monza-Brianza
What does integrated sport represent for you?
In a sense the term “integrated” is a paradox, because in the “CSEN spirit” our guys are not “integrated” but actually they are part of a big group in which equality is a key aspect.
However, the term “integrated” is highly needed, because it is a choice in which all subjects involved (technicians, managers, associations and parents) accept a challenge in a completely new and ever developing field; this new field is an answer to the needs for psychological and physiological growth of boys and girls with a disability; it promotes their creativeness and their needs for socializing.

INTERVIEW TO CSEN CONTACT PERSON FOR ABRUZZI REGION MR AGOSTINO TOPPI
Agostino Toppi
CSEN contact person for Abruzzi Region
What does integrated sport represent for you?
For Abruzzi Region CSEN the meaning of integrated sport lies in the fact that an able-bodied athlete gets into the same conditions as and shares handicaps with his/her opponent; thus the able-bodied athlete faces different conditions as he/she usually does; during the sport contest the concept of disability vanishes, replaced by competition and antagonism.
