The Special Olympics are the world’s largest sporting event

• for people with ID.

• for people with multiple disabilities.

 
In 2022, Berlin will host the Special Olympics National Games.

More than 4 thousand athletes

from many countries will come to Berlin.

They will compete in 20 sports.

For example, in handball and powerlifting.

And there will be many Unified Sports® competitions.

In Unified Sports®, people with and

and without disabilities compete together.

They have equal partnerships and they learn from each other.

We want to achieve different goals with the National Games.

For example:

We want to have more inclusion in Germany and around the globe.

Inclusion means:

Everybody is respected and accepted.

Everybody has the same rights.

We want people with ID to be more accepted.

We want to show:

People with ID can do many things.

And they can be coaches or leaders.

And we want people with ID to get access

• to education

• to work

• to health care

• to sports
  

Our claim and logo

The claim of the National Games is:

Unbeatable together.

This means:

Together we can achieve anything we want.

Nobody can stop us.

We invented the claim with our athletes.

We write it this way:

#UnbeatableTogether

our logo

We created the logo with our athletes.

These were our thoughts:

• All people are different.

  We want to show that through the different colors and shapes.

• We asked our athletes:

  When you think of Special Olympics,

  how do you feel?

  what do you think?

  They answered:

  We are happy.

  We are proud.

  We are excited.

  We wanted the logo to represent these emotions and feelings.

• The National Games and the World Games take place in Berlin.

  So, the logo should contain symbols of Berlin.

  For example, the television tower or the Berlin Bear.
