World Judo Day was celebrated also by the attendees of the JudoIN project by planting olives for the better future of our planet. The judo club Rijeka, marking this occasion, planted the olive saplings, the symbol of peace and longevity, in front of the club, while the remainder was distributed and planted in all primary schools where there are judo sections (11 schools). And, naturally, we also trained together on this day too.

The welfare of the project “JUDO INclusion“ – AKTIVAN I ZDRAV (ACTIVE AND HEALTHY) – RIJEKA is great for any child who feels “different.” Children with developmental difficulties are more limited in their participation in sports events than their peers, while the gap gets wider with growing up. This is why “JUDO INclusion“ was initiated. A child with developmental difficulties also experiences difficulties in socialisation and finds it hard to hang out with other children, because they feel different, and this quite easily has the effect of isolation and exclusion from the environment. Children with developmental difficulties face each day what they cannot do, just like their parents. It will be easier for them if we encourage them to focus on what they can do, not what they cannot.

The implementation of the project is co-financed by the European Union from the European Social Fund.
