The Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, represented by Deputy Minister Oleksiy Nikitenko, has signed a cooperation memorandum with the charity organization «Future for Children».

This document aims to create new opportunities for developing the sports potential of Ukrainian children and youth, as well as their self-realization through sports.

As part of this collaboration, partners will develop a multisport project called «Path to Success», aimed at supporting the Olympic reserve and promoting an active lifestyle among the youth.

The charity organization has introduced the project of international sports camps, Olympic Aspirations. Its mission is to support the country's Olympic reserve, organize a sustainable training process, and gain international sports experience for future victories for Ukraine on the world stage.

In the three years since its establishment, Olympic Aspirations has:

• conducted 16 international sports camps;
• the project has reached 7 countries;
• participants included young athletes from 13 Olympic sports.

A systematic partnership between the state and the charity sector is key to creating new opportunities for the younger generation of Ukrainian athletes. Joint efforts will contribute not only to the revival of the Olympic reserve but also to engaging more children and teenagers in sports and healthy lifestyles.
