A show for children is being implemented in 12 Zagreb primary schools through the Choose Sport project. The famous TV host Frano Ridjan will tell you the true tale of the tiny Jigoro Kano, who wanted to become big and strong and thus became a judo expert. The implementation of kids’ play “Olympic Stories” in primary schools involved in the project – presents additional motivation for including children into the judo sport.
The goal of the project is mass inclusion of children into sport, and creation of habits of long term involvement in sport. The project addresses the general population of children of school age, but its target group are children in adverse social standing and, thereby, who are at risk of social exclusion (children with unemployed parents, with parents who receive children’s benefits, those children without appropriate parenting, those from single parent families, from families with three or more children and the children with behavioral issues), and who are given free memberships to judo training in judo clubs of the Zagreb Judo Union: judo club “Lika“ and judo club “Zagreb,“ where they will further receive free sports equipment – a judo kimono.

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