It should be reminded that tug-of-war and armwrestling competitions in Feldman Ecopark were held under the auspices of the ICF “Oleksandr Feldman Foundation” within its 1,000 Teams Tournament project. The event was arranged by the Department of Scienc and Education under the Kharkiv Regional State Administration and the Special Department of the National NGO “Sport Students Union of Ukraine” in Kharkiv oblast. All of the participants of the competitions were awarded with Feldman Ecopark’s certificates, diplomas and cups from the organizers.
Within the sport festivities on May 17, Feldman Ecopark also hosted the games of the 18th football week of the Special Olympics of Ukraine among children with special needs. The members of seven special educational institutions of Kharkiv oblast took part in them.
“These football competitions are arranged in many European countries, including Ukraine. In Kharkiv oblast, they are held for the second year running in Feldman Ecopark,” the director of Kharkiv regional sports union of schoolchildren and students Viktor Pavlenko told. “Here, they have created favourable conditions for children with special needs, and the very atmosphere of the Ecopark creates positive mood and motivates to lead active life.”
It should be reminded that the 1,000 Teams Tournament is a project of the International Charitable Foundation “Oleksandr Feldman Foundation” uniting different sports in Feldman Ecopark. It is aimed at the popularization of healthy lifestyle in all of its aspects. Despite the fact that the project is, first of all, aimed at children and youth, everyone, regardless of age and physical condition, are able to find a sport for own taste. Feldman Ecopark offers opportunities for free training and sport competitions within the 1,000 Teams Tournament project.
