Program Guide for International Symposium of Adapted Physical Activity and International Symposium on Physical Activity and Visual Impairment and Deafblindness (ISAPA 2025) which took place in Munster Technological University, Kerry, Ireland, 16th June 2025 -20th June 2025.

Abstract

ISAPA 2025 is a landmark international event that brings together global leaders, researchers, practitioners, and advocates in Adapted Physical Activity to ignite systemic change under the unifying theme “Shifting the Dial: From Awareness to Transformation.” Hosted in Kerry, Ireland, under the patronage of UNESCO, the symposium integrates five major events into one dynamic platform.

The program reflects IFAPA’s mission to advance inclusion, research, professional excellence, and international cooperation, while also contributing meaningfully to the implementation of global frameworks such as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris 2024 Call to Action, Fit for Life, and Quality Physical Education (QPE). ISAPA 2025 challenges all participants to move beyond awareness and embrace action, leveraging inclusive sport, education, and health systems as powerful tools for equity and sustainable development.
