Goals/
Aim/Mission

The purpose of the Slavata Triathlon Tour is to support the integration of two seemingly different worlds of children from children’s homes and ordinary families. To bring children to sport and to teach mutual co-identity regardless of social status in society. To awaken in them competitiveness and healthy self-confidence, but also to reveal hidden talents. To encourage children to fight for their dreams and not be afraid to follow them, even if fate did not give them ideal starting conditions.
