Safety, Health, and Mental Recovery: 216 Children from the Frontline Region of Kharkiv Have Arrived in Zakarpattia as Part of the “Carpathian Shift” Project

Schoolchildren will spend three weeks at the “PRAHA FAMILY CAMP” health resort in Irshava. The program combines learning, excursions, psychological relaxation, and sports activities. The region will welcome the next group as early as tomorrow.

The Zakarpattia region welcomed the first group of schoolchildren from the resilient Kharkiv region, who arrived in our region for psychological rehabilitation, meaningful leisure activities, and health improvement. The trip is part of the nationwide presidential project “Carpathian Shift.”

Miroslav Biletsky, head of the Transcarpathian Regional Military Administration, officially announced the arrival of the young guests.

A three-week break in Irshava: from classes to mountain excursions

The first group consists of 216 boys and girls of various ages from communities in the Kharkiv region who are subjected to enemy shelling on a daily basis. Another group of children is expected to arrive tomorrow:

  • Location and conditions: The young Kharkiv residents were warmly welcomed by the modern children’s health and recreation center “PRAHA FAMILY CAMP,” located in the town of Irshava in the Khust District. Comfortable and safe living conditions have been created for the children here;
  • Uninterrupted Education: The program is organized so that the children do not fall behind in their school curriculum—in the morning, they will participate in remote learning in their regular classes;
  • A full schedule of leisure activities and rehabilitation: After classes, students can look forward to an extensive program: sports tournaments, creative workshops, team challenges, excursions to notable sites in Transcarpathia, and daily sessions with specialists to help stabilize their mental and emotional well-being.

Support for children from frontline areas

The main goal of the “Carpathian Shift” project is to remove children from a zone of constant anxiety and the sound of sirens, give them the opportunity to experience a truly carefree childhood, regain their strength, make new friends, and restore their inner peace under the peaceful Carpathian sky.

Transcarpathia continues to serve as a reliable humanitarian rear base and remains an open home for fellow citizens from regions experiencing active hostilities.
