The project was supported by the Department of Youth and Sports of the Lviv Regional State Administration as part of the regional program “Youth of Lviv Region”.
From July 22 to July 27, a military-patriotic training for young people took place in Zhydachiv in a picturesque place near Mount Bazyivka in the tent camp of the Military School named after the Hero of Ukraine Taras Matviyiv.
Over the 6 days of the camp, more than three dozen participants from Lviv region were able to successfully and confidently master new knowledge in military tactics, medicine, and mine action. They learned how to properly equip defensive positions, practiced situations, flew FPV drones, and fought with training knives. The children had the opportunity to test themselves in physical education competitions, learn more about nationalism, the history of Carpathian Ukraine, and information security. A special feature of this year’s camp was airsoft.
The opening and closing ceremonies were attended by the mother of Taras Matviyiv, a Hero of Ukraine who did a lot for military and patriotic education of young people. Ms. Valentyna noted that the most important thing for her is that her son’s work lives on and strengthens Ukrainian youth.
“There was an incredible response and acceptance, it was interesting and exciting for the children to hear about Taras’s life, to learn about his dreams, the values he professed, to listen to his thoughts,” says Valentyna Matviyiv.
Taras Matviyiv was a professional journalist, an active participant in the Revolution of Dignity, one of the initiators and coordinator of the Maidan Search Initiative, a volunteer and activist. Taras was killed on July 10, 2020, during a mortar attack while rescuing his comrades from a burning dugout.
The project was supported by the Department of Youth and Sports of the Lviv Regional State Administration as part of the regional program “Youth of Lviv Region”.
“Despite certain obstacles, such as rainy weather, physical exertion, and heat, everyone was able to prove themselves and forever engrave their name in the history of the Taras Matviyiv Military School.
Let’s remember that only thanks to the steel endurance and strength of our Armed Forces we have the opportunity to train and develop!” the management emphasized.
