We remind you that in the previous year the Municipality of Kotor started the implementation of the project "Social Inclusion in Montenegro" financially supported by the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in accordance with the Law of the FVG Region dated October 30, 2000, No. 19. As part of the project, swimming events for various vulnerable groups in our city are organized every Sunday starting from January 28 until mid-May, under the supervision of an expert.

The main goal of the project is the implementation of activities aimed at the inclusion and social integration of vulnerable groups, especially people with disabilities whose physical and sensory abilities are impaired in the long term, through sports practice, with the aim of sensori-motor and psychophysical recovery, promoting physical activity as a rehabilitation, educational and social practice according to socio-health protocols.

The project is based on assumptions related to the importance of motor skills and physical activity as a practice not only for rehabilitation, but also because of its essential educational and social value, as a tool for improving the quality of life and health protection and as a means for social integration.
