Wewillrollyou – Wheelchairbasketball doing school at schools in Munich

High Art Bureau GmbH is proud to present the project We Will Roll You. Since 2018 we have been helping the sports club RBB München E.V. to get a grant for their school project. From fundraising to PR and project management, we were happy to contribute our knowledge to such an important and great initiative!

Inclusion is a big issue in Europe. However, many public institutions do not really know how to behave so that inclusion becomes a “natural way” to live, learn and work.

In team sports, everyone brings their advantages to their group and has to be part of it, no matter what. We bring these two things together to make the inclusive way of school life as easy as being part of a team.

The idea behind the project is to bring children with and without disabilities together to play basketball.

Wheelchair basketball puts everyone on the same level, with the same starting position and the same challenges. Regardless of background, gender or disability, every child has to learn the same rules of communication and behaviour on the basketball court.

In 2019-2020 we had the opportunity to bring this idea of communication, behaviour and attitude on the same level to your school, to show students and interested children how easy and fun it can be to live in an inclusive society.

This is how it works: 

That’s what the participants say:

• “Super, this is the real inclusion!” (Ludwig, 14, wheelchair bound)
• “You can hardly get this sport experience in the daily routine, because you need a wheelchair. The play was great!” (Tini, 18)
• “It was cool to spin in a wheelchair. Even while dribbling”.(Erik 11)

On 24 und 25 of august the Iguanas hosted a Wheelchairbasketball Clash with the participation of the national teams from Russia, Austria and Switzerland. Wewillrollyou Project invited all children and young people to try this amazing team sport and participate in a clash with the professional players.
