The aim of this workshop is to design and develop innovative solutions that use technology to enhance the experience of people with disabilities during sports activities, thanks to the assistance of dogs. Participants will explore how technology can be integrated with animal support, creating useful, safe, and accessible products. Starting from the analysis of the needs of people with disabilities who practice canine sports, students will design product concepts that facilitate the relationship between athletes and dogs in sports activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D.A.M.A. (Dog Able More Able) is a non-profit organization founded in 2024 by a group of friends passionate about dog training, dedicated to training dogs to support people with disabilities.

Riccardo Cotilli<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

An accident took everything from me. But it also gave me the opportunity to be reborn. With<\/p>\n\n\n\n

courage I climbed my mountain, all the way to the European bronze medal. Now I travel by<\/p>\n\n\n\n

camper van with Dodo and Kora, my Rhodesian Ridgebacks, companions in life and adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together we are building a community and a future breeding, to give shelter, inspiration and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

freedom to those who dream of a new beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
