Free educational workshops will take place in several Ukrainian cities — Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv, Odesa, and Dnipro — where participants can try various adaptive sports, learn about their benefits, and meet like-minded people. Adaptive sports are not only physical activity but also a vital tool for veterans’ recovery, socialization, and mutual support.
