Any changes in relation to the initial event
Some participants from Bulgaria and Hungary could not travel due to Covid, and one participant from UK. Bulgaria and UK partners found it difficult to find all five disabled youth as they did not want to travel during covid in case of emergency, so partners offered more places to more participants with fewer opportunities which also created more opportunities for these youth. We had transferred some participant places to the second activity as in the KoM some representatives could not attend as they tested positive for covid. Partners had a few more cancellations again pandemic related and we in the end decided to give these extra places to participants from Samsun city of Turkey who already have plenty experience of including deaf youth in sports, they worked at Deaf Olympics previously.
