The project will result in:

  • Creation of a network of partner organizations in the EU and Ukraine to share experiences and best practices in developing team spirit among schoolchildren, including children with special educational needs;
  • We will also be able to strengthen social integration through sports for schoolchildren (displaced children, refugees);
  • We will conduct activities to develop the skills of schoolchildren regardless of gender, including mixed sports events and gender equality trainings;
  • Development of methodologies in accordance with the norms and principles of EU sports policy, with a focus on training coaches to work with displaced children and children with special needs;
  • Creating a program to prepare young people from Ukrainian universities for volunteering in sports and environmental activities;
  • Schoolchildren from the EU and Ukraine will participate in environmental activities such as tree planting and waste sorting;
  • Development of new methods of non-formal education through sports aimed at developing life skills and leadership;
  • Development of a strategy for disseminating project results among universities, authorities, and NGOs through conferences and publications;
