1. Information about the Games
The Special Olympics are the world’s largest sporting event
- for people with ID.
- for people with multiple disabilities.
In 2023, Berlin will host the Special Olympics World Games.
More than 7 thousand athletes
from all over the world will come to Berlin.
They will compete in 26 sports.
For example, in golf and powerlifting.
And there will be many Unified Sports® competitions.
In Unified Sports®, people with and
and without disabilities compete together.
They have equal partnerships and they learn from each other.
We want to achieve different goals with the World Games.
For example:
We want to have more inclusion in Germany and around the globe.
Inclusion means:
Everybody is respected and accepted.
Everybody has the same rights.
We want people with ID to be more accepted.
We want to show:
People with ID can do many things.
And they can be coaches or leaders.
And we want people with ID to get access
- to education
- to work
- to health care
- to sports
Our claim and logo
The claim of the World Games is:
Unbeatable together.
This means:
Together we can achieve anything we want.
Nobody can stop us.
We invented the claim with our athletes.
We write it this way:
#UnbeatableTogether
our logo
We created the logo with our athletes.
These were our thoughts:
All people are different.
We want to show that through the different colours.
We asked our athletes:
When you think of the World Games,
how do you feel?
what do you think?
They answered:
We are happy.
We are proud.
We are excited.
We wanted the logo to represent these emotions and feelings.
The World Games take place in Berlin.
So, the logo should contain symbols of Berlin.
For example, the television tower or the Berlin Bear.
