About the program
Our program started in 2015. To set up a program like this is hard in Estonia, but we are happy to take baby steps. Some schools welcomed us with open arms and we are still active in those schools by teaching children judo and its values. We are slowly building the program and hopefully our dream of having a better established judo lessons in school program will come true.
Dream
Try to get judo added as one of the lessons in the national school program

Best practices
- Lifelong education
Children do not only learn judo skills but also learn about judo ethics and code of conducts, which they will be able to implement and use throughout their life whilst giving back to the community.
- No to bullying
Throughout this project, children learn about respect in general and how to respect each other also, which then reduces the element of bullying in school environment.
