This con­ver­sa­tion will start with the inspi­ra­tional pho­to­graph­ic exhi­bi­tion of the Victor’s Project that shows Par­a­lympians, vet­er­ans, and vol­un­teers of Anti-Ter­ror­ist Oper­a­tion (ATO) who became amputees as result of the Russ­ian aggres­sion against in Ukraine. The exhi­bi­tion con­sists of 17 pho­tos made by well-known artist Alexan­der Morder­er and Tatiana Rublio­va.

The project was cre­at­ed to sup­port vet­er­an’s psy­cho­log­i­cal reha­bil­i­ta­tion and rein­te­gra­tion into social life via sport.

We will also draw inspi­ra­tion from dis­abled South Africans who are involved in sport to pro­mote a healthy, active lifestyle.

We hope the con­ver­sa­tion will high­light the enabling fac­tors for oth­ers to par­tic­i­pate in sport and explore how we can upscale such ini­tia­tives to make them more acces­si­ble for more peo­ple.

The event is orga­nized by Dis­abil­i­ty Inno­va­tions Africa, Uni­ver­si­ty of Cape Town, Ukrain­ian Asso­ci­a­tion of South Africa, Embassy of Ukraine in RSA in asso­ci­a­tion with Artscape The­atre Cen­tre.

The social mul­ti­me­dia project THE VICTORS is a joint ini­tia­tive of TSN (Tele­vi­sion Ser­vice of News, 1+1 TV Chan­nel) and VIVA! Mag­a­zine.
