In the framework of the project presentation, a Memorandum on Participation in the Program was signed, which this year will help children from Donetsk to undergo rehabilitation, psychological recovery, and join sports and team activities in safe regions of Ukraine.
“Carpathian Change” unites over 1700 children from 13 regions of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Football Association will provide the football component of the project—coaches, sporting equipment, and modern training methods.
For the children of Donetsk, participation in the project is a chance to experience new emotions, receive support, communicate, and for at least some time return to the atmosphere of childhood through football and team unity.
