As part of the Olympic Dreams project, young athletes from Bucha, Irpin and Chernihiv arrived in Austria for training

Young athletes from the cities of Ukraine affected by the full-scale invasion, including Bucha, Irpin and Chernihiv, have arrived in Austria for a training camp. This is the 12th international sports camp held as part of the Olympic Dreams project.

The training camp will last for two weeks. The project participants will gain experience in 5 sports - judo, wrestling, basketball, volleyball and table tennis. In addition, the camp organisers have prepared a rich sports and cultural programme for the Ukrainian youth.

"This camp in southern Austria is another successful result of the work of the project team and our partners. We continue to systematically support Ukrainian youth and make every effort to preserve our country's Olympic reserve for future victories. We are constantly working to expand the geography of the project and increase the number of sports. Almost immediately after the training camp in Austria, we are planning to hold the next camp in another European country," said Olympic Dreams project initiator and philanthropist Anatoliy Boyko.

The project team expressed its gratitude to all the partners and organisations that contributed to the organisation of the camp in Austria. In particular, the National Olympic Committee branch in Kyiv region, the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, the Judo Federation of Ukraine, and the city councils of Irpin, Bucha, and Hostomel.
