Open Fun Football Schools

The Open Fun Football Schools project by the Ukrainian Association of Football, supported by UEFA, includes:

  • Psychosocial support for children of military personnel, internally displaced persons, and children affected by war.
  • Integration and friendship between children of internally displaced persons and local children.
  • Inclusive environment, participation regardless of abilities, gender, and inclusion of children with special educational needs.
  • Knowledge of safety in war conditions.
  • Philosophy of grassroots football - the joy of playing instead of focusing solely on results.
  • Promotion of a healthy lifestyle.
  • Development of volunteerism.
  • Activation of local communities through cross-sectoral networks (teachers, coaches, psychologists, safety experts, parents, youth leaders, local authorities, patrons, and others).
