About the program:
Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana and Youth Care Centre Malči Belič Ljubljana successfully collaborated for the team's One Team program in the 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, and now they have joined forces again to replicate something similar for this current campaign. Malči Belič Ljubljana is a Slovenian non-profit center that educates children and youngsters with emotional and behavioral problems, as well as those with learning disabilities. Cedevita Olimpija strongly believes that this alliance will see its One Team project go to the next level and provide a safe space for children as they look to overcome their difficulties. The program includes eight weekly sessions and involves four to 12 people aged between seven and 13. The goal is to help young people with certain disabilities equip themselves for everyday life by using the sport of basketball to emphasize social skills, such as motivation, reliability and personal responsibility. Cedevita Olimpija player Edo Muric is supporting the project as a One Team Ambassador for this season’s program, which also receives support from NLB d.d. as the main commercial partner and will get involved during the session, in addition to other related activities.
