The aim of the „LET’S SWIM BEYOND THE HANDICAPS“ project is to include physical disabled kids in social life, to improve quality of their lives, to give them the opportunity to have fun during physical activity and sports with their peers, to make them discover their skills, and to create a different environment where they can feel free to do exercise. The consortium includes partner organizations from Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece and Turkey.
Within the project, in September 2021, 8 free trainings for young people were held, in which 6 young people with physical disabilities and 6 without disabilities aged 12-16 took part.
