Denso is the program that will see them involved in two moments, the first is the meeting with psychologists whose goal is to develop cohesion between participants and to favor a resilient approach to their life experiences through a dialogue focused on the comparison and the exchange of their experiences.

Invictus Games 2018

All disciplines that serve to strengthen and strengthen the team and those who will then participate in the Invictus Games 2018. One of the greatest challenges of the GSPD is to create the right amalgam between the guys who come from different realities and different Armed Forces but who have a common goal that is to best represent our country in national and international commitments.

The Defense Paralympic Sports Group was born following a memorandum of understanding between the Defense and the Italian Paralympic Committee and is made up of soldiers who were injured in service who did not give up and continued to serve the country in uniform or in gymnastic suit . Since it was established just over three years ago, the GSPD has achieved numerous successes at national and international level. Just think of the medals that the 41 athletes of the Italian team took home at the Invictus Games and the Paralympics and Championships in which they participated.
