Event
Videotext: Deaf International Ski "DIS" was founded in November 2023. The reasons for founding the new organisation have to do with the history of the Deaf Ski Europe Cup. This has existed since 1999 and was very well attended every year. But Deaf Ski Europacup does not have a bank account. With the foundation of DIS we want to proceed professionally. We have an official seat and bank account so that we can develop. We offer various programmes with DIS. 1. camp for kids, 2. training camp for racers, 3. Deaf Ski European Cup under DIS, 4. all events about skiing from all over the world can be published on our website. This way we strengthen the network of all countries about skiing.
Camp for Kids: We want to enable children from different countries to train together. We want to teach the children technical basics with professional support. At the same time they learn solidarity and social exchange with other children from other countries. The self-esteem increases.
Race for Kids: We want to increase the quality with our own international children's races by focussing entirely on the children. All deaf children from different countries can take part, so that we also achieve solidarity and a sense of community. The children are our future.
Training camp for Racer: We want to promote the racers even better with international training camps. Training together with other countries is more fun and promotes competition. As the deaf world is small, the racers only train individually in a small group. This influences motivation. In addition to individual training, they also have the opportunity to train together.
Deaf Ski Europacup: This a race series for deaf racers that has been running for 26 years. We want to continue this traditional race with slight adjustments for more attraction.
