• Social and other help for sportsmen with fewer opportunities during and after the trainings (listen to their needs, identifying problems, supporting them, help with homework, ect.); Paraclimbing – a new project we started this year, still in development stages, therefore it is very likely that volunteer will have to work a lot with disabled children or youngsters, usually providing individual assistance while climbing, maintaining motivation, and personalising the trainings to the specific traits of the participants. Most likely we will add/promote social field for self-empowering parents groups and camps, also providing social support with collaboration of local social NGO for disabled families “Socactiva”. Climb your top – project for children from social risk environment or disabled. Bringing them into the gym through a 5 steps program: a).
