Municipal councils of Daugavpils state city Viktorija Sporāne-Hudojana, deputy chairwoman of the Social Issues Committee: “It is extremely important that this holiday will take place in Daugavpils. I see great potential in the development of parasports in our city. Parasports helps children with special needs to develop. Such events contribute very well to the socialization of children. Young people will be able to make new friends, get to know different types of sports, and perhaps in the future they will be able to practice sports and develop in this direction. I invite children, young people and their parents to attend this event!”
Those interested can participate in both events or choose one. Participation in activities is free.
