Train4Family

On October 2nd, the final meeting of the Train 4 Family project was held in Sofia, Bulgaria, at the SoHo Center. During the meeting, we went through the main points of the project, including the evaluation report, the results of the Pilot Program, and a discussion about the overall training process for children with disabilities. As mentioned during the meeting, we were delighted to learn that the trainings in all countries went exceptionally well, and that both children and parents were very satisfied with the entire process.

During the month of July, an event was held as part of the Train 4 Family Erasmus+ project, during which we presented our work from the past months to a wider audience, including parents with children as well as young people. In addition to showcasing the implemented sports activities, we also presented various educational materials.

The Train4Family transnational project meeting took place on May 28–29, 2025, in Murcia, Spain, bringing together partners from seven countries : Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Turkiye and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Hosted by the University of Murcia, the meeting focused on reviewing project progress and planning future steps to promote sports activities for children with disabilities and their families.

Prema istraživanjima, stopa pretilosti u zemlji kontinuirano raste, što sa sobom nosi ozbiljne posljedice. Poražavajući podatak je da je BiH po broju pretile djece (17,5 posto) i odraslih stanovnika među prvih pet u svijetu, druga na Balkanu, odmah iza Crne Gore (18,1 posto), a predviđanja stručnjaka pokazuju da bi situacija mogla biti i gora. 

As part of the “Train 4 Family” project, we have included 15 children with developmental disabilities in swimming training and 6 children with developmental disabilities in athletics training! Over the course of 7 months, starting in February and lasting until the end of August this year, the children will participate in various types of training.
