It was lovely to chat with @marie2monaco about the #Paralympics. We discussed the legacy of the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
I'm looking forward to your article on @Mediapart and (hopefully) the segment on @RFI.

The flame for the #ParalympicGames has set off from Stoke Mandeville, the historic birthplace of Paralympic sport. As we prepare to host another mega sporting event here in Paris, I was joined earlier by @Dr_ChrisBrown who explained some of the history behind it via @France24_en

It was great speaking with @alexjourno on @France24_en about the Paralympics. We talked about the history of the Paralympics and its development. I also considered some athletes to watch.
I was on at 12.20pm (ish) if you want to watch it on demand.

My discussion with @TommyShakes is available as an audio podcast: tinyurl.com/mrhy92nv
In the below clip, we discuss the concept of universalism, the idea that we're all impaired to different degrees.
I asked Tom why this idea is not seen as common sense & accepted widely 👇

"The danger is that we don't see impairment or illness as being, in its own way, limiting. And it can be. Not always. But it can be."

I'm really keen to get your thoughts on the Paralympic topics I should address.
Please let me know what you think needs to be explained more clearly or is a source of confusion.
DM me if you'd rather not reveal what confuses you!

An example might be: what is the classification system & how does it work?
In your opinion, what areas to do with the Paralympics need to be explained more clearly to aid understanding?
The videos will be from a social sciences perspective.

🧵I'm in the process of creating explainer videos about the Paralympics, & I'd love your help!
The idea is to create short videos (5 minutes or less), based on academic knowledge, that answer questions people may have about the Paralympics
