Inclusion in action: Special Olympics National Winter Games 2024 sparks inspiration

Although the Special Olympics National Winter Games 2024 in the beautiful Haslital / Brienz area are over, the lasting impact they’ve left behind resonates strongly in our hearts and minds.

40 J&J Volunteers had the privilege of being part of this unique experience, and we are beyond thrilled to share the remarkable experiences they had during the Games.

The atmosphere was electric, with the Special Olympics athletes showcasing their unwavering determination, incredible skills, and boundless joy.

Nearly 600 athletes came together, showcasing the power of unity and the importance of celebrating diversity. The event provided a platform for the athletes with intellectual disabilities to compete in six different sports. It was truly a celebration of human spirit and the limitless potential within us.
