These boys and girls study at the same school, but in different classes. They came from frontline Kharkiv. Their parents and teachers are doing everything possible to keep the children happy and to let them feel childhood even in the midst of war.
The egg painting workshop could barely fit into the busy schedule of activities and events.
Everyone had their own unique and one-of-a-kind Easter egg. Even those children who had never picked up an wax stylus before managed to do it.
It turned out that we were right about the master class, because the teachers had planned such an event back in Kharkiv: “Thank you! We bought everything to do it at school, but this trip turned up so unexpectedly that we thought we’d have to do it without Easter eggs this year. And here is such a gift.”
We are not sure that all the pysankas will make their way back to Kharkiv, but the main thing is that the children now understand the technology of traditional egg painting and will always be able to repeat it on their own.
The project “Children of War” is implemented by the charitable foundation “SOS Civil Defense Headquarters” thanks to a grant from the Children’s Resilience Fund: Providing Capacity Building and Funding to Ukrainian Civil Society Organizations in Ukraine.
