LECCE – Sport in the name of inclusiveness. A great party, enriched by the union of several disciplines and shows, staged in Lecce, in the “Germano Ventura” building and in the tensostatics of via Giammatteo, to celebrate the final stage of the Aqp Tour Baskin Puglia. This is an event organized by the SSD La Scuola di Basket with the support of Acquedotto Pugliese and the patronage of the Puglia Region, the Italian inclusive sports body and the Italian Paralympic Committee Puglia.
In total, there were six stages along Puglia dedicated to baskin, a sporting discipline born from the union of “basketball” and “inclusion”, characterized by openness to people of all ages and genders, able-bodied and with disabilities. From San Pietro Vernotico to Lecce, passing through Monopoli, Andria, Castellaneta and Foggia, different teams faced each other in each stage. The team from Corato triumphed in the final in Lecce. But the real winner was the team spirit.
“It was an event full of values – underlined the president of Aqp, Domenico Laforgia – in which we conveyed a message of inclusion and collaboration. Baskin symbolizes the opportunity to shorten distances, cooperating synergistically and setting positive and unexpected energies in motion to achieve a team result. These are values that Acquedotto Pugliese also believes in.”
Satisfaction was also expressed by the president of the SSD La Scuola di Basket, Sandro Laudisa: “We put the vital energies of the kids into play by talking about inclusion. Ours, together with Acquedotto Pugliese, has been an active cultural, sporting and inclusive commitment, which has always represented a primary objective for us. We have also promoted a fundraiser to be donated to one or more entities involved in the field of social inclusion”.
