With the support of the project, the Strilky community in Lviv oblast purchased the necessary equipment for a sports tourism club

In cooperation with the Ivan Bobersky Lviv University of Physical Culture, a tourist rally for students and schoolchildren was held in the village of Mshanets. Thanks to the involvement of an expert from the «Act for Health» project, a map of bicycle routes was developed, and the Uycle team conducted training on safe cycling.

The «Act for Health» project served as a catalyst for other important events in the community:

- Employees of the Primary Health Care Center conducted training on providing first aid.

- The Topilnytsia school became a platform for modern forms and innovative methods of work in physical education classes and extracurricular activities.

- The community joined the “Active Parks” social project, which encourages people of all ages to get active.

- The Strilky Youth Center was set up, where themed quests and bike rides are organized for the community.

As a result of the first phase of the project, which has been implemented since 2022, mobile teams from the Strilky Village Council's Center for Primary Health Care continue to visit remote villages on a regular basis.

Strilky community shows how joint efforts can bring about major changes and improve the health of the population!
