officer for sport, Berlin association for Disabled and rehabilitation sports
Mårten Lilja is an officer for grassroots and elite sport at the Berlin association for Disabled and rehabilitation sports. He supports clubs, athletes and projects, work on sport development, events, youth and performance pathways, and helps strengthen participation opportunities for people with disabilities in sport.
He is interested in how sport can create access, visibility and social participation, and how institutions can remove barriers for people with Disabilities in practical and meaningful ways. Drawing on both his professional experience in disability sport and my personal experience as a wheelchair user, he brings a strong interest in inclusion, public debate and equal participation.
