Why is this project needed?
Today, most children in Ukraine have suffered psychological trauma due to the war. Many have left their homes or moved abroad. The demographic situation in Ukraine is deteriorating, as many men and women have gone to the frontline and many others have left. A psychologically unstable population needs long-term support to overcome their state of anxiety. Integrating children into new places will help them feel safe, and develop and rebuild Ukraine in the future. Sport is the best tool for improving the psycho-emotional state of children, and the Olympic Village has all the necessary conditions for this.
This project is a major social initiative that will help strengthen Ukraine and its younger generation by integrating children affected by war through sport.
