Breaking Barriers: Accessible Sports for All

2024-06-03
Barrier-free facilities provide greater accessibility for people with disabilities. However, besides the basic facilities, can the government and society offer additional recreation and leisure opportunities to them? In recent years, the government has actively promoted sports for people with disabilities and implemented the Elite Training Programme for Athletes with Disabilities. Nevertheless, do individuals with disabilities generally have sufficient opportunities to engage in sports? Due to the lack of exercise options for individuals with physical disabilities, some scholars have developed an adapted physical activity called sitting light volleyball. How can such exercise contribute to the physical and mental well-being of people with disabilities? Even though there are organisations for people with disabilities that provide well-equipped camping and sports facilities, why is the utilization rate so low? What actions can we take to encourage people with disabilities to actively participate in recreational and sporting activities?

Hong Kong Connection

If “ Hong Kong Connection ” were a tree, how old would it be? It was on 5 March, 1978 that the documentary series first went on the air in Chinese.

As the series continues, its staff are determined to go on uncovering and delving into every local and international topic that concerns the people in Hong Kong, whether it be political, economic, educational, commercial, environmental or technological.

A tree plays an important environmental role in refreshing the air that we breathe and holding from the earth on which we stand. It is Hong Kong Connection's mission to provide the public with information and analyses as well as an opportunity for rational discussion.

The programme is aired from 29 May 2023 (Monday) on RTHK32 at 9:30pm - 10:00pm.
