Main Life skills: Motivation, Confidence, Communication

About the program: Lokomotiv is delivering its One Team program together with Children’s Fund Anastasia, a charity organisation based in Krasnodar. The fund helps families with children who have disabilities or serious illnesses by raising money for their treatment, resolving everyday problems, organizing public events and offering lessons aimed at developing social skills.

Over 20 weeks, a group of 17 deaf and hard-of-hearing children, aged 9-16, will attend One Team sessions with Lokomotiv to develop essential personal life skills such as motivation, confidence, communication, and social inclusion. There will be weekly two-hour sessions which will consist of life skills teaching through basketball. The program is supported by private medical clinic Zdrava.
