Legacy Projects

Legacy of the World Winter Games 2029
The Special Olympics World Winter Games 2029 in Switzerland create a unique opportunity to build sustainable structures for people with intellectual disabilities and to strengthen inclusive development in the Swiss sports system.

Special Olympics Switzerland is using this momentum to implement legacy projects that will have an impact far beyond the Games. This ensures that, even after the event, concrete and permanently established sports and physical activity opportunities for our target group will remain in place.
