Motivation of the applicant / applicant team:

My motivation. My value is the acceptance of people, their right to their freedom and their differences. Regardless of citizenship, sexual orientation, physical or mental abilities. I believe in the fact that this value can be passed on to people through experience. Through the experience of interaction with different people. And through information: through personal stories of participants, through video clips, interviews, etc. Therefore, I am doing this project in such a way as to attract different people from different spheres, I try to talk as much as possible about it. Because this project is fairly simple to implement, but it solves so many important problems.

Use of prize money:

To take a video course for fitness centers, for sports grounds, for everyone who might be interested in how to work with a group if there are people with special needs there. How to behave, how to react, how not to react, etc.
