Winter holidays with Ukrainian beneficiaries
In December 2023, together with our Ukrainian beneficiaries, we organized various activities within the project “RAZOM (TOGETHER) – Network of physical and mental health services adapted to the needs of Ukrainian refugees” so that they could familiarize with Romanian traditions and customs for the winter holidays.
Thus, at the beginning of December, we went with some of our beneficiaries to the “Laminor Winter Wonderland” Christmas Fair where they could admire the costume exhibition and watch the performances organized within the fair. The children also participated in various creative workshops (face-painting, making dolls, etc.).
The series of activities continued the following week with a visit to the Children’s Museum, where they were able to step into the magical world of winter in a Christmas exhibition. The little ones learned about cold areas fauna, astronomical phenomena specific to the cold season, customs, traditions and were able to enjoy a carousel ride as well as a sock skating session in the ice rink inside the museum.
This week, together with the Ukrainian children from Hub Băneasa, we participated in the Christmas celebration. The children prepared various recitals and skits for Santa Claus who rewarded them with various gifts. The little ones also made a wall newspaper where they drew and left letters of thanks for the activities they participated in within the project.
The project “RAZOM (TOGETHER) – Network of physical and mental health services adapted to the needs of Ukrainian refugees” is implemented by the ICAR Foundation in partnership with the Rehabilitation Center for Torture Victims “Memoria” (RCTV Memoria) with the financial support of Active Citizens Fund Romania, programme funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through EEA Grants 2014 – 2021.
