Abstract: Sporting activities are the most efficient methods for a healthy life. Participation in organised and regular gymnastics activities can also bring major benefits to children from under-privileged social backgrounds. Thus, I endeavored to include some children from socially under-privileged categories into a process of basic sports training, specific to artistic gymnastics. We consider that activities specific to artistic gymnastics can be an efficient means of social inclusion of under-privileged children, trying to value the individual abilities of each of them. Methods and means specific to artistic gymnastics training were used. The motor skills assimilated were based on Special Olympics regulations, but also took into account the children’s particularities. The trainings had at the beginning approximately 12 children of which 4 were selected, representing different social categories, to continue training and attend an international competition. The trainings reunited all the children into a unitary team, emotionally and functionally connected, the difference being noticed only in the individual abilities of each. The team managed a very good competition (with no major mistakes), obtaining meritable results. The children did not feel the social differences between them and they behaved as an unitary team, mobilizing, and showing behaviour of great common sense during a major sporting event.
