The event was attended by more than 70 children from the northwest, who took part in educational sports activities, which aimed to build in them teamwork skills, awareness of the benefits of physical activity and care for the environment.

The initiative took place under the “Eco friendly sport” project, which aims to enable young people to be informed and qualified on issues of sustainability and nature protection in order to be active citizens, promoting these issues in their lives by creating valuable interactions with the sports sector. The activities aim to channel the energy of young people to promote the concept of sport, ecology, well-being and health-improving physical activity. The aim of the project is to promote sports and physical activity, which not only contribute to better health, but also have a positive impact on the environment (2 in 1).
