Background

The project was created from need to promote physical activity for Seniors. Well to organizations who were the partners recived information from regional, national and international environment of low quality or lack of sport activity for senior people. Together we decided to be interested in this issue, making based on their own experience and the available sources, a detailed analysis of the scale of the problem. The data which we recived was not satisfied. That was main reason to make decision about write project. Moreover the elderly population still grow up and their physicality fall down. So, creation a space for Seniors where they can stay more physical was kind of priority.
