The village of Ribnovo, located in southwest Bulgaria, was the third destination where the new sports program was presented. On March 22, 2023, the first event was held in the village of Ribnovo. On the second day of the event, the Comac Sport Club visited the village of Ribnovo in the framework of the project “Come and Play 4.0” project (EAC-2020-0745), which is co-funded by the EU.

The innovative program aims to promote physical activity and encourage a healthy lifestyle for young people, families with children, and people aged 60+ living in areas characterized by low socio-economic development, diverse ethno-religious backgrounds, and geographical remoteness. Athletes and public figures were invited to attend the demonstrations, which were divided into four sessions.

The sports club implemented an initiative in partnership with local schools, with the goal of making physical activity a regular part of students’ lives. The sessions were designed to be fun and engaging.

The new sports program also encourages families to be active and have fun together. Sports educators led the family sessions, providing a safe and supportive environment for families to engage in sports and socialize. The 3D holographic images used in the demonstrations made it easy for participants to follow the exercises and provided clear visual explanations. Representatives from the 60+ age group actively participated.

Demonstrations in Ribnovo were successfully conducted, with participants from all four sessions enjoying the fun and engaging exercises.
