Children's Festival: Community and Support
On December 6th, during St. Nicholas Day, Odesa hosted a children and youth festival called «Community for Kids».
Approximately 400 children from military families, veterans, families of the fallen, and children from civilian backgrounds gathered for the festival.
The main goal of this creative event is to establish a safe environment for communication, play, music, and self-expression, where every child, regardless of their circumstances, can feel supported and accepted. This is a space where friendship, creativity, and joy return to life. Children can interact freely, support one another, and grow together.
During the festival, interactive workshops, creative games, art zones, discussion spaces, workshops, as well as musical and theatrical performances for teens were organized.
As stated by the Deputy Mayor of Odesa, Kostyantyn Talalaiev, such events are not only cultural phenomena but also crucial steps toward the integration and psychological support of the younger generation.
The organizer of the «Community for Kids» festival is the Charitable Foundation «Cultural Forces of Ukraine» with the support of the Department of Education and Science of the Odesa City Council.
