Mental oasis by the river
About the project
The city beach "Kovalivsky", located near the "Kernel" factory, is a special place where everyone can feel part of the living world, escape the routine environment and restore strength.
The project was inspired by stories of people who, despite difficult circumstances, seek support, rest and inspiration. Nature, especially water bodies and beaches, has a powerful calming effect. Restoring physical and mental health is critically important in these difficult times. Outdoor activities, sports and cultural events not only strengthen the body, but also create emotional connections between people. We believe that "Mental Oasis by the River" can become a place of recovery, strength and new acquaintances, a place of healing through movement, sport, interaction, culture and nature.
Who are we?
We are an initiative group of young people who want the city's green areas to help people rest physically and mentally.
