Experience report in early childhood education: Olympic education and women's soccer with a focus on inclusion

Abstract

This report presents a pedagogical experience in Early Childhood Education, focusing on children under 5 years old, including those with special needs. From Elenor Kunz's critical-emancipatory perspective, several playful and motor activities were developed, adapted from the Olympic Manual and other official materials, which stimulated creativity, cooperation, mutual respect and the appreciation of differences. The experience demonstrates the importance of offering opportunities to experience sport in a pleasant and meaningful way, contributing to the formation of fairer citizens.
