11 children from Avdiyivka and two kids from Slovyansk spent two weeks in our summer camp in Germany.
Avdiivka – city in the war torn eastern Ukraine. Since 2014 people there have been suffering from shelling and distress caused by the war. Children suffer the most – they spent more time in bomb shelters than at school, experiencing death and destruction with their own eyes. Some of them have lost their parents and siblings. Their everyday life is accompanied by explosion noise and fear. Each additional shelling leaves a deep wound in their soul.
Slowjansk – meanwhile peace has returned here. But it’s not so long ago that the city experienced months of occupation, chaos and lawlessness, tortures and heavy fire. And the war still continues not so far away from the city.

ARRIVAL
The children were warmly welcomed by the hosts of the FestSpielHaus Klein Leppin and the volunteers from Berlin.
The cook Ingrid and the helper Olga, supported by our volunteers, provided a varied menu, containing best and freshest ingredients and prepared with love.
We also received donations: a pallet of mineral water from “Bad Liebenwerda”, a pallet of juice, lots of fresh fruits, ice cream, fruit syrup and sweets, as well as a large food donation from the “Berliner Tafel”. Many thanks also to all the lovely people for the homemade cakes!
Strolling through the city, visiting rehearsal of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchesters Berlin in the Philharmony, a boat trip, visiting the AquaDom & SEA LIFE Berlin, excursion with the tour guide Elena Keglina, lunch in the Café-Restaurant Ephraim’s, a visit to St. Mary’s Church, a reception and a concert at the Ukrainian embassy.
“Light and love are …” – at this workshop our kids talked about what they associate with the terms light and love. Then together they drew a large drawing.
“Paint the planet” – during the workshop they discovered some acrylic painting techniques.
Art therapeutic techniques such as image interpretation, self-reflection through relaxation techniques and self-portrayal were used in this workshops. The aim was to explore children’s creativity, broaden their mindsets and encourage them to express themselves creatively.
Our kids spent their free time with exciting games, which encouraged them to think in teams, develop creative and sophisticated strategies and logical thinking.
Our artist explained various materials and techniques. Our kids put up and prepared large canvases together. They then worked on all of the canvases in turnes.
On last day of the project we invited guests to an exhibition, a movie screening and a big concert, prepared by our kids. And of course we had a big grill party.
It was a wonderful time, full of exciting moments. Together with our kids we grew to a family.
