N2  - Since 1997, Handicap International and its partners have been developing actions in Tunisia  for persons with disabilities, designed to improve their quality of life and promote their social  participation. From this perspective, the practice of physical and sports activities provides  many wonderful opportunities for personal development and social inclusion, which promote  wellbeing and the sharing of joy.    With this in mind, FTSH (Tunisian federation of sports for persons with disabilities) and Han-  dicap International have cooperated to develop the project "Sports and disabilities, for bet-  ter inclusion of persons with disabilities in Tunisia." The project was launched in 2008 with    financial support from the European Union and Monaco's Office of International Cooperation  and Development. The specific goal is to provide disabled persons with access to regular and  adapted physical activities and sports for their personal development and to enhance their  social inclusion.  For three years, this work was conducted through cooperation with national institutions,    ISSEP (the higher institute of sports and physical education), ONS (the national sports obser-  vatory), CNMSS (the national centre for sports medicine and science), and with professionals    from URR (regional rehabilitation units). Their contributions were coordinated with Tunisia's    Ministry of Youth, Sports and Physical Education (MJSEP), Ministry of Public Health, and Mi-  nistry of Social Affairs and Tunisians Abroad.    At the local level, through many specialised structures, we noticed that very tangible acti-  vities are being developed. Developments are also emerging through non-specialised local    organizations or government structures. By bringing people together, including persons with  disabilities, these activities promote development of a more inclusive society, one truly made  "for all."  As such, important work has been carried out to strengthen the national sports movement at  the structural and technical levels. At the same time, the skills of sports teachers and special  education teachers were upgraded and their awareness heightened. This was also done for  health and social services professionals, in order to foster better use of physical activities and  sports for all.    The actions carried out by Handicap International and FTSH also promote the involvement  of local players in concerted actions centred on sports (e.g. sports events, awareness-raising  workshops, development of shared sports facilities), thereby helping to change the social    representation of disability and how it is viewed, so society as a whole, both locally and natio-  nally, can provide adapted responses that favour better inclusion of persons with disabilities.    This guide is intended for all the people who voiced a strong desire throughout the project, to  increase participation of persons with disabilities in physical activities and sports. It provides  a practical and educational tool rooted in reality. The authors facilitated the contributions of    Tunisian professionals, to meet their expectations more effectively and to ensure that edu-  cators continue to enrich their creativity and ideas for mentoring any person interested in    participating in, advancing through and gaining enjoyment from the practice of an activity.  I am convinced that this detailed work and enthusiasm pioneered in Tunisia will contribute  to the recognition of all people as they are, considering their differences and their rights, to  facilitate the development of a more inclusive society
