NBDSF SWOT
STRENTGHS
The history of NBDSF: founded originally in 1912 (NDI), the oldest sports organisation of the people with disabilities, traditions, culture.
Regular joint seminars and meetings
Respect and equality of the member countries towards one another
Know-how and regeneration
Functional possibilities
WEAKNESSES
Status in society, attitudes and valuation, note: Paralympic activities, media
NBDSF is lacking a clear and stable administration
NBDSF own fundraising and financial possibilities + personnel resources
Financial possibilities of the NBDSF member countries themselves to increase co-operation
The status of NBDSF in EDSO should be clearer (licence fees, joint advocacy work)
Decrease in the activity of deaf people in the field of sports competitions
The functional activity and know-how of the sports clubs in the member countries
Strong regression in the individual sports
The organisation is not very well-known in the sports clubs
Information work on the NBDSF activities in the member countries
Decrease of participants in competitions and events
OPPORTUNITIES
To organise joint seminars, workshops and meetings with different themes for deaf people and other hearing-impaired people with different ages - exchange of information
Youth activities; sports camps, sports competitions
Increasing activities at the club level
Information work, Internet, www-pages
NBDSF 100th anniversary in 2012, a year with a special theme
Raising the NBDSF image with quite a small input
Sports festivals in summer and winter sports every fourth year. The sports clubs of the member countries as a special target group
THREATS
The identity of deaf people, compare the socio-cultural and medical viewpoint on deafness
Decrease in the activity of deaf sports competition activities
Decrease in the valuation of deaf sports
Decrease in the self determination of the federations and clubs - integration in the paralympic activities (this can also be seen as a possibility)
Continuation and funding of the NBDSF activities
The know-how in deaf sports activities and lack of training in the tightening competition in society
