In Vinnytsia, the city's first inclusive playground based on Lyceum No. 4 for children with special educational needs has been opened.

The Vinnytsia City Council reported this.

"On the territory of Vinnytsia Lyceum No. 4, the city's first barrier-free playground, "Yeprostir" has been created.

The idea for this project arose precisely within the walls of the Lyceum and became possible thanks to the victory in the budget competition for public initiatives," the report says.
