The sports club Yorokobi in Radebeul, Germany, has set itself the goal of promoting integration through judo. Children and young people with and without disabilities train together in the club. The club's motto is "Together on the mat - together in life".

Yorokobi was founded in 2004 and has been offering judo training for children and young people with and without disabilities ever since. The club has around 100 members, about half of whom have disabilities. The training takes place in small groups so that each child and young person can receive individual attention.

Judo is a great way for children and young people with disabilities to improve their physical fitness, coordination, and self-confidence. The sport also teaches them valuable life skills such as teamwork, respect, and discipline.

The Yorokobi sports club is a great example of how sport can be used to promote integration and inclusion. The club provides a safe and welcoming environment where children and young people with and without disabilities can learn and grow together.
