Introdução - Introduction 3 ‘…..there is a paucity of research regarding Paralympic legacy or legacy related to hosting events for athletes with a disability’. Dickson, Benson & Blackman (p.23, 2011) ‘….há uma escassez de pesquisas sobre legado Paraolímpicos ou heranças relacionadas a sediar eventos para atletas com deficiência '. Dickson, Benson & Blackman (p.23, 2011) 4 5 • As it stands the IPC is a secondary player in the Games bidding and resultant legacy process. • Assim como está o IPC é um jogador secundário no processo de licitacao e em seu resultado. 6 2. Defining Legacy 7 – Definição de legado • Legacy research is inter-disciplinary or multidisciplinary, set in local through global contexts where the size of the event, city, region or nation creates different cultural contexts. • A pesquisa do legado é interdisciplinar ou multidisciplinar e colocada atraves de contextos globais onde a dimensao do evento, cidade, região ou nação cria contextos culturais diferentes. 8 Definição • 'algo passado ou recebidos de um antepassado ou antecessor', • 'um direito de nascimento ou heranca ', • 'uma forma de doacao' • 'o que é deixado' 9 10 • Clearly, many if not all of the legacies are ‘soft’ and designed to influence the opinions of school children and individuals in the community where the Games are held. • Claramente muitos, se não todos os legados, são 'soft' e concebidos para influenciar as opinioes das crianças em idade escolar e dos indivíduos da comunidade onde os jogos são realizados. 11 3. Dimensions & profiles - Dimensões & perfis 12 Dimensions - Dimensões • History História • Beacon Events Importantes eventos • Education of Society Educação da sociedade • Media Coverage Cobertura da mídia • Sport for All Esporte para todos 13 • ‘Legacy can only be left by people for people’ or ‘older generations for younger generations’. Legacy from my perspective is thus not an act of nature but is instead a purely human characteristic and intergenerational in that older generations bequeath legacy to younger ones’. • 'Legado só pode ser deixado por pessoas para pessoas' ou 'gerações mais velhas para gerações mais jovens'. Legado - em minha perspectiva – nao é uma lei da natureza, mas, em vez disso, trata-se de uma característica puramente humana e intergeracional, em que as gerações mais velhas deixam legados para as mais jovens. 14 ‘… .essas iniciativas de educação e visão terao um impacto dramático sobre o esporte paraolímpico tanto no nível nacional como também no nivel internacional'. Steadward (p.12: 2011) 'As lições aprendidas pela mídia e pelo público no Canadá, segundo o 'Torontolympiad' parecem ter sido muito positivas' e que a "mensagem” foi a importancia da remocao de barreiras intelectuais de natureza perceptiva e de atitudes presentes na sociedade canadense. Livro inédito Brittain (2011) 15 • ‘Rio 2016 is being planned to provide incentives via all three levels of government and sponsors to develop accessibility training programmes for those working in hospitality and tourism industries. (Ribeiro, p. 194: 2011) Projeto Rio 2016 está sendo planejado para fornecer incentivos através de todos os três níveis de governo e patrocinadores para desenvolver programas de formação de acessibilidade para as pessoas que trabalham nos setores de hospitalidade e turismo. 16 17 4. Conclusões 18 • "A sporting moment happens once. Never to be repeated. A split second in time captured forever. They live in the minds of people: who competed, who were there, and who pass their stories from generation to generation. They shape our collective view of ourselves, and our country. They become a blueprint for what we value and inspiration for all. Moments that made us”. • “O momento esportivo acontece apenas uma vez. Nunca sera repetido. Uma fração de segundo capturado para sempre. Ele vive na mente das pessoas: de quem competiu, de que estava lá e de quem passara suas história de geração para geração. Ele molda nossa visão coletiva de nós mesmos e de nosso país. Ele se torna um marco para o que valorizamos e inspiração para todos. “Momentos que nos realizam". 19 20 • • • ‘….these education initiatives and vision will have a dramatic impact on Paralympic sport both nationally but also internationally’. Steadward (p. 12: 2011) • ‘The lessons learned by both the media and the public in Canada following the ‘Torontolympiad’ appeared to have been quite marked’ and that the ‘message learnt appeared to have been the importance of removing perceptual, attitudinal and architectural barriers present within Canadian society’. Brittain (2011) Unpublished paper Figure 1: Legacy Dimensions and Profiles 5 Cost 4 Spatial impact 3 Planning 2 1 0 Timeframe Structure Tangibility Infrastructure Urban regeneration Social capital • Stakeholders can be defined as, ‘any individual, interest group, pressure group or corporation affected by a public policy issue, government action or inaction’ • ‘Three legacy definitions can be identified: first, the degree of planned structure; second, the degree of positive structure; third, the degree of quantifiable structure’ • [1] Conhecimento de infra-estrutura • [2] • [3] desenvolvimento de competências e educação imagem • [4] • [5] emoções e cultura • [6] (Gratton e Preuss, 2008, pp. 1926-1929 • (Pappous, 2011) found that there was no long term effect of exercise take up by youngsters from the Olympic and Paralympic Games held in Athens. The effective legacy was short term only and not sustainable • What are Paralympic legacies that can be identified from the outcomes of the history of Paralympic Games? Within the exploration of Paralympic legacies, are there examples of Paralympic event leverage?; And can Paralympic legacies and leverage contribute towards a greater understanding of these concepts generally? • Ideally in the future the Paralympic movement will evolve beyond the scope of providing legacies which are purely serendipidous towards a planned execution of events to support the chance legacies which have gone before. • History, Beacon Events, Education of Society, Media Coverage and Sport for All • There is a need to be sure that educational perspectives are to the forefront of thinking in future bid documents. If the writing and language around Paralympic legacy is placed in the countries bid document, then arguably the OCOG are duty and legally bound to provide the outcomes stated therein. • ‘While the Olympic Games can claim phenomenal physical regeneration and legacy to which the Paralympics can contribute, it is the Paralympic Games that can truly bring about fundamental universal social change’ • that ‘Rio 2016 is being planned to provide incentives via all three levels of government and sponsors to develop accessibility training programmes for those working in hospitality and tourism industries’. • Education of schoolchildren prior to the Paralympic Games, education of the public and the provision of social capital appear to be of prime importance to the Paralympic Legacy debate and should be a strong components of any bidding documents in the future. • ‘…the way the media portray people with disabilities and disability sport can have a major impact on how other groups and individuals within society view them’ (Brittain, 2009; p.72). • argued that the media should allow Rio to be a platform for change. As an example he noted that: ‘Since the 2004 Paralympic Games, the Brazilian Paralympic Committee has developed a strong relationship with the media’. He further stated that ‘the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games will represent a significant opportunity for the consolidation of the Paralympic Movement, not only in Brazil but also throughout South America and beyond’ and this can only be achieved with the strong support of the media. • The general consensus of opinion is that there needs to be a centrally coordinated media package which delivers the Games on a global scale which is built into the Games bid and also negotiated and supported by the relevant OCOG. What we would argue is that for this to take place and be effective it will require leadership and oversight from the International Paralympic Committee itself. • A major legacy for the London 2012 Olympic Games and in many other Olympic Games held prior is getting children and other individuals to exercise and improve their health. It would appear that in this particular area the Games have not lived up to perhaps unfairly high expectations. Therefore if a city or nation state cannot do this for the Olympics how then can we expect to improve the physical activity patterns for youth with disabilities via the Paralympics and should they be seen in isolation at all? • Generally however, there appears little difference in the physical; activity patterns of disabled youth after a Paralympic games has taken place in their city • Ribeiro (2011) also notes that across Brazil ‘both physical education and sport should be offered at integrated places in schools, sports clubs and also considered in social programs. The principal of ‘sport for all’ should be emphasized’. • ‘if legacy has a focus on the long term regeneration of a deprived area of London and its commitment to engaging with young people to inspire them to become involved in sport’ then it might fail. • ‘…..they (Rio de Janiero) need to focus on a legacy that goes beyond sport when the Brazilian city hosts the Games in 2016. It cannot be just about the three weeks of the Games’. Indeed, he provides a great message to the rest of us, ‘There is no point doing the Games if there isn't a sense that something is being built for the long term’ and ‘Part of the legacy is about what sport can do to society. Sport today is far more important that just sport itself’ (Blair, 2010). Quais são os legados dos Jogos Paraolímpicos? What are the Legacies of the Paralympic Games?
