The master class combined physical activity with educational material, during which participants discussed practices for implementing EU values in everyday life, sports, and educational initiatives. Young people shared their experiences, gained new knowledge, and strengthened their team spirit and mutual support skills.

The master class in the Carpathians served as an example of how joint activities, outdoor learning, and teamwork can effectively shape and spread the key values of the European Union among Ukrainian youth.
