EXPERIENCES

At the ” Friedensflotten” from Salzburg and Nuremberg, at the ” School on Snow” from Salzburg, at the ski school of Hermann Meier and at the association “Into the wind through the silence” from Rijeka, I was able to “look behind the curtain” and see for myself the positive effects of sailing and skiing on sick children and adults. (Dr. Gjukić)

Illustrative and inspiring effect of numbers: In sum, these associations and schools have been operating for over 50 years, and almost 10,000 children and adults have participated!
