- MARTIN-club launched a mobile invincibility point for disabled residents of Dnipro
In conditions of blackouts, people who cannot quickly or independently reach stationary assistance points remain particularly vulnerable. That is why a mobile invincibility point has been launched in Dnipro - a format that allows providing support directly near the place of residence. The mobile point is primarily aimed at residents with limited mobility, the elderly, families with children, and those who, due to health or household restrictions, cannot move around the city during power outages. The visits reduce the burden on people and provide access to basic things: recharging communication devices, hot water, and basic support. In coordination with the municipal institution "Dotyk", the mobile point of invincibility of the NGO MARTIN-club goes to places where, due to the lack of electricity, residents are left without basic opportunities: to recharge their phones, contact their relatives, get hot water. Coordination allows integrating this format into the general system of city support during crisis situations. The first visit took place at 27 Berezinska Street. 18 people received assistance, including 11 women and 7 men. Special attention in this format is paid to houses with electric stoves - during long-term outages, this is where household difficulties arise most quickly. The mobile point allows you to partially cover these needs without the need to move people to stationary locations. Practice has shown interest from condominium associations: building heads are ready to join in coordinating and informing residents. In the future, it is planned to announce visits through building chats with a clear indication of the address and visual identification of the car, so that residents understand in advance where and when the service will be available. The mobile invincibility point is seen as a practical tool for cities that live in an unstable energy supply regime - a service that complements stationary points and makes it possible to support people where they live.
- She fled another country with her 14-year-old son, fleeing a husband who was psychologically, economically, and physically abusive to her.
She fled another country with her 14-year-old son, fleeing from a husband who had been psychologically, economically, and physically abusive to her. She had endured years of humiliation: her husband controlled her money and even her food, was aggressive when drunk, and after fleeing, kept calling her for a long time to break her down. Loneliness, debt, depression, and insomnia became a daily reality. She tried to maintain a normal life for her son—school, belongings, food—but there was not enough money and no support. It was then that a friend advised her to contact the “Your Space” NGO MARTIN-club. She wrote a message on Instagram — and the very next day she found herself in a consultation with a psychologist. This was the first step towards recovery: she heard there the important phrase “you are not alone,” which gave her the strength not to give up. From that moment on, her life began to change. Week after week, she worked with a psychologist, learning to feel the ground under her feet again. Later, a lawyer joined the work, who helped prepare and file divorce documents. The case manager provided support in obtaining social assistance, thanks to which she managed to cover legal costs. The woman took part in the training “Strong in Spirit: The Path to Recovery and Development” from the MARTIN Club, where she was able to reboot: through yoga practices and therapeutic exercises with drums, she got rid of aggression and fatigue and, for the first time in a long time, slept through the night. This was a real victory for her, because insomnia had been draining her of strength for years. For her, it was like a miracle: sleep restored her strength, and there were women with similar stories nearby who understood her without words. She felt that she was no longer alone in her struggle. Thanks to comprehensive assistance, the woman was able to emerge from a state of deep crisis. She realized that she had the right to protection and a new life. Her words revealed hope and confidence in the future. She was able to reconnect with her sister after a three-year break, which was another important step towards stability. Although the legal process is ongoing and there are still issues of child support ahead, she now has a strong support system. She is most grateful for the sense of community: the words "you are not alone" were a turning point for her, saving her from despair. Today, this woman is confidently moving forward, working on her mental health, and believing that her future and that of her son will be safe and happy. "Your Space" is a place where women who have experienced violence can take the first step towards recovery. Here they find safety, support, and new opportunities. The project to assist victims of gender-based violence is implemented by the NGO MARTIN-club with the support of the international organization Norwegian People's Aid within the framework of the "Comprehensive Approach to Crisis Response: Mine Action, Prevention and Response to Gender-Based Violence, and Support for Livelihoods in Ukraine."
- Working together: Patrol police and MARTIN club are stepping up assistance to victims.
The Patrol Police Department in the Dnipropetrovsk region and the NGO MARTIN-club held a working meeting dedicated to deepening cooperation in the field of preventing and combating domestic and sexual violence, as well as strengthening comprehensive assistance to victims. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the patrol police in Ukraine, the program director of the MARTIN Club, Yan Borodin, presented a letter of gratitude to Andriy Kalyuzhny, head of the Patrol Police Department in the Dnipropetrovsk region, for systematic and coordinated interaction and contribution to the protection of human rights. For the second year in a row, MARTIN-club has been implementing a training project for entities working in the field of combating violence. During this time, 30 patrol police officers participated in the training together with other response entities . The program covers legal and psychological aspects of response, current changes in legislation, judicial practice, features of working with victims and preparation of procedural documents. Cooperation also takes place in daily work: in the event of calls regarding domestic violence, patrol officers involve mobile teams of socio-psychological assistance from the NGO MARTIN-club to protect the victim, provide first psychological aid, and organize further support. Following the meeting, the parties agreed to strengthen operational interaction between patrol crews and mobile teams through clear communication algorithms and exchange of contacts of officers on duty; to introduce regular joint training and supervision after complex cases, as well as short training modules for new police officers; to join efforts in educational work with communities on algorithms of actions in case of domestic violence, in particular within the framework of the international campaign "16 Days Against Violence". All efforts are aimed at ensuring that assistance to victims is not spot-on, but comprehensive - so that a person receives support at all stages and at the same time feels respected, safe, and dignified.
- Visit of the MARTIN-club team to Kosovo
Kosovo is a small country that survived war in the late 1990s, but has managed to go a long and difficult path to recognizing and supporting people who suffered from conflict-related sexual violence. That is why today the experience of Kosovo is important for Ukraine - we are at the stage of creating the mechanisms that are already working there. Head of Legal Service of NGO MARTIN-club Yuliia Seheda , representing the organization, participated in a study visit to Kosovo on responding to conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), organized by UN Women Ukraine and UN Women Kosovo together with representatives of five other Ukrainian civil society organizations. During the 1998–1999 war in Kosovo, sexual violence was widespread. However, for more than a decade after the war, these crimes were silenced due to stigmatization and patriarchal attitudes in society. Only with the initiative of the President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga, and the systematic work of civil society, did the state begin to listen to the victims and implement unpopular but necessary reforms: the legislation was changed, a mechanism was created for identifying victims, providing them with status, access to justice, and comprehensive social, psychological, and legal assistance. According to international missions, the number of victims of the SNPK in Kosovo exceeds 20,000 people. Today, more than 1,800 people have officially received this status, lifelong pensions and state benefits as victims of the war. During the visit, meetings were held with the State Commission for the Status of Victims of the SNPK, UN Women Kosovo, as well as with civil society organizations that cooperate with the state. One of the key elements of the Kosovo model is the involvement of civil society. It is NGOs that collect information, support victims, and prepare documents for the commission. This increases trust and minimizes formality, while maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive information. A particularly emotional moment was taking part in the action near the Heroinate memorial in Pristina, an installation of 20,000 nails in the shape of a woman's face, each of which symbolizes the story of a victim. Each story is a silence, pain, and strength that cannot be forgotten. MARTIN Club already provides assistance and support to victims of SNPK in Ukraine, working with a human-centered approach and in compliance with international response standards. We not only learn from experience, but also share our achievements, which will help avoid mistakes and strengthen solutions that should work systematically and in the long term. It is the responsibility of the state and civil society to hear, recognize, and support those who have survived war crimes.
- Martin Club and Rotary Club (District 1820) Collaboration: “Pink Panama” project, Together for Children
Since June 2025, the “Pink Panama” project has been changing its concept of work. We still love children and are waiting for them in our space. Social educators invite them to development classes, to the teenage club, to activities outside the premises: on excursions, hikes, to game tournaments. Our address is changing. Today it is Khersonska, 5, the premises of the children's hub, located in a bomb shelter, safe and adapted for conducting classes with children. What is Pink Panama 2025? "Pink Panama" is a project by a team of professionals who share common values of protecting childhood and the future generation. Our main goal is to support children at all stages of their development so that they have the opportunity to live a full childhood, despite the difficult circumstances of war. The war has changed the childhood of many Ukrainian children. They know what an “air raid” is, how to find a bomb shelter, and how to protect themselves in conditions of uncertainty. They have experienced many hardships, from losing their homes to fearing for the safety of their families. Ukrainian children were forced to grow up unfairly fast. Therefore, the goal of Pink Panama is to give children back their childhood and the opportunity to live a full life, find new friends and a new social group. Since the war started in 2022, we have had the opportunity to see how children grow up in war and what they and their parents need, what support is needed at each stage of child development. Now we have 3 main components: support for education (preparation for school, support at school), development (art therapy, workshops, introduction to professions), development of emotional intelligence (program of social and emotional training, communication). The main goal of the Pink Panama project is to provide comprehensive support and promote the healthy psychophysical development of children affected by the war in Ukraine. The project aims to make children feel safe, overcome trauma, socialize and find their role in society. The ultimate goal is to help children become active and responsible members of society who contribute to the development of the country. Strategy for three age groups 1. Preschoolers (5-7 years old) Main objective: Preparation for school, socialization, social and emotional learning. Activities for the development of fine motor skills, memory, attention, and logical thinking Games to unite and establish contacts between children Art therapy, music therapy for emotional development Ecology classes and eco-experiments as the first step in caring for the environment 2. Younger students (8-10 years old) Main objective: To consolidate and develop the knowledge and skills acquired in the first stage. Deepening knowledge of school readiness (reading, arithmetic, logic) Development of communication skills, ability to cooperate in a team Career guidance games and workshops Volunteer projects aimed at helping the community 3. Teenagers (11-12 years old) Main goal: Self-determination, search for a role in society, professional orientation. Trainings on personal development, leadership, decision-making Mini-courses in various professions, excursions to enterprises Mentoring programs, involvement of teenagers in volunteer activities Consultations with psychologists and career counselors We believe that children are our future. We want these future adults to be able to realize themselves in society. To be self-confident people who know themselves and get along with others. People who had a happy childhood despite the most terrible circumstances that surrounded them. At the time of the application, we already have a component for preschool children. We ask for support for work with school-age children and adolescents. Currently, the project works half a day for toddlers, because we do not have the opportunity to accept more children. In case of funding, we will be able to cover older children for the next 4 months. Martin Club and Rotary Collaboration: Together for Children The “Pink Panama” project: Supporting Children through Rotary From June to September 2025, the Pink Panama Project will be implemented thanks to the generous support of the Rotary Club of District 1820 (Germany). Thanks to the funding of Rotarians, this unique project will have the opportunity to serve Ukrainian children affected by the consequences of war. Also in 2023, the Pink Panama was funded with the participation of Rotary, which confirms the long-term cooperation between our organizations. Mission of Rotary Clubs The mission of the Rotary Club is to unite leaders of different professions for joint service to society, support humanitarian projects, and promote peace throughout the world. Rotarians focus their activities on key areas - the fight against poverty, education, health care, ensuring access to clean water and supporting the community, showing a true example of selfless service. These clubs pay special attention to children who need protection and care in difficult moments of life. Shared mission: serving people In its many years of work, the Martin Club has always supported the values close to Rotary, because these organizations share a common goal - to help those who need it most and direct their potential to solve social problems. Our cooperation is based on the desire to create a more just and humane world. United for the future The joint activities of the Martin Club and Rotary are an example of how joining forces can change people's lives. We are grateful to the Rotary Club of District 1820 (Germany) for their trust and support in our common cause – serving children who need it so much.
- ✨ Meeting with the Delegation of the European Commission Advisory Service
Recently, the MARTIN Club team held a meeting with a delegation of the European Commission Advisory Service, which included lawyers, police officers, and other specialists working on CRSV (conflict-related sexual violence) cases across Europe. We discussed the achievements Ukraine has already made in the field of legislation on responding to war crimes and CRSV, as well as the challenges faced by survivors and professionals in the process of justice. Ukraine already has a legislative framework for responding to war crimes — even while the armed conflict is ongoing. An important step has been the introduction of interim reparations: survivors are already receiving housing certificates and other forms of compensation. This demonstrates the progressiveness of our legal system and its ability to function even under extraordinary circumstances. ⚖️ However, there are still gaps that require change: 1️⃣ Access to legal aid for survivors. Unlike defendants, survivors must go through complicated procedures to obtain a lawyer. This creates barriers for the most vulnerable groups. We believe legislative changes are needed to ensure that survivors of crimes against sexual freedom and inviolability, as well as children, automatically receive free legal representation — without additional steps or procedures on their part. 2️⃣ Child protection in criminal proceedings. The Criminal Procedure Code does not include the concept of “child interviewing,” which is in line with European standards. This requires amendments to make justice more child-friendly and to implement European standards for child participation in criminal proceedings. 3️⃣ Weak communication between investigators and survivors. Survivors often learn about the closure of criminal proceedings only after the fact. The absence of accountability for such violations undermines trust in the justice system. At MARTIN Club, our specialists not only analyze legislation but also work daily with real CRSV cases. This gives us a deep practical understanding of the challenges faced by survivors and Ukrainian professionals on the path to justice. 🤝 We thank the European Commission delegation for their open dialogue and willingness to support Ukraine in building an effective and fair system of response.
- NGO “MARTIN-Club” and the Kamianske City Council signed a Memorandum of Cooperation: a systemic strengthening of support for women and children affected by violence
NGO “MARTIN-Club” and the Kamianske City Council have formally consolidated their partnership by signing a Memorandum of Cooperation — a document that institutionalizes joint actions in preventing and responding to domestic and gender-based violence, delivering humanitarian assistance, and building a sustainable system of social services for vulnerable groups, including internally displaced persons (IDPs). The signing ceremony was attended by Yan Borodin, Program Director of NGO MARTIN-Club, and Andrii Biloусов, Mayor of Kamianske. This milestone marks an important step in strengthening the city’s support system for survivors of violence. It follows several years of practical engagement by the MARTIN-Club team in Kamianske, where emergency response services, as well as psychological, social, and legal assistance, have already been operating. Since March 2023, under MARTIN-Club’s administration, a wide range of support services for women, children, and young people have been functioning in Kamianske. These included safe spaces for women and girls, “Vilna” and “Sviĭ Prostir,” offering psychological counseling, informational support on combating GBV and domestic violence, peer-support groups, as well as educational and recovery sessions. Simultaneously, the organization provided case management and operated mobile teams of socio-psychological support to respond to cases of violence. MARTIN-Club also delivered individual counseling, legal representation (including in court), targeted humanitarian aid (food and non-food packages), and dignity kits for women and girls at risk. A crisis room for survivors of GBV and a helpline for victims of violence were also in operation. Significant attention was devoted to youth-oriented activities: the organization organized training sessions, interactive events, and development programs aimed at supporting young people and youth workers during wartime. This multidimensional approach enabled MARTIN-Club to reach diverse categories of community members, creating a sustainable and comprehensive support system. In total, 23,415 beneficiaries in Kamianske have received assistance from MARTIN-Club . The signing of the Memorandum is not only a formal confirmation of ongoing cooperation but also a step toward systematically developing services, deepening coordination between city services and MARTIN-Club, and providing structured training for local specialists in modern standards of working with survivors. This will help Kamianske become a safer, more resilient, and better-prepared community in the face of future challenges.
- July at MARTIN Club: new spaces, support and partnership
July was a month of action for our team. We opened safe spaces for children and women, worked with communities facing the challenges of war, violence, and loss. We strengthened our expertise, launched partnership initiatives, spoke out about painful topics — and sought answers together with those around us. CHILD PROTECTION One of the main areas of the month is child protection. In five communities of the Dnipropetrovsk region, "Kwoka Hubs" have been launched - new spaces that are friendly to children. Here children can feel safe, express themselves, and explore the world through play, communication, and their own emotions. As part of the work of the "Children's Support Service", we visited shelters , schools, and group homes. We conducted emotional intelligence classes, master classes, consulted, and simply talked to children — sincerely and genuinely. Because that's where trust begins. We discussed this approach at a working meeting on July 9 with representatives of juvenile prevention. We jointly analyzed complex cases and launched a mechanism for referring children to specialists. And on July 23, during the forum "Everyday for Children," the MARTIN Club team presented their experience: how we create safe spaces, work with communities, and support those who are with children every day. OPENING SPACE Work on security issues continued in another direction — supporting women. In partnership with the Dnipro City Council and the Leader Children and Youth Center, we opened “Your Space” — a place where you can stop, breathe, and feel like a resource. The space is located on the left bank of the Dnipro. Women who have experienced war, violence, or loss can come here. Psychological, social, and legal assistance is provided here. And, no less important, conditions have been created for recovery, rest, silence, and care. EDUCATION In July, we strengthened community resilience through training. We conducted a series of trainings on "Preparedness and Protection in the Event of Conflict" for teachers, social workers, and community representatives. We taught how to act in emergency situations to preserve the most important thing - life and psycho-emotional health of people. Separately, we organized specialized training for the police. We talked about sensitivity to the topic of domestic violence, response algorithms, and trauma-informed approaches. Because it is important not only to act, but also to act with understanding. So that every interaction with a traumatized person is not a re-trauma, but the first step towards recovery. COUNTERACTION AGAINST VIOLENCE Combating gender-based violence is a key area of our work. In July, we joined forces with the national police in Kryvyi Rih and conducted an information campaign right on the streets of the city. We talked about what violence is and how to recognize it. We talked about support services. We gave women contacts with whom they would not be left alone. And what's important is that new cases were discovered, because when there is trust, a voice appears. LEGAL SERVICE In parallel with our fieldwork, we continued advocacy at the systemic level. Julia Segeda, head of the legal department of the MARTIN Club, became a speaker at two professional events in the field of law and justice. During the webinar of the Kyiv office of the Register of Losses for Ukraine, the topic was recording losses and reparations — so that justice is not only a value, but also a procedure reflected in documents and real actions. At a seminar for judges at the National School of Judges of Ukraine, Yulia spoke about the trial of sexual crimes — through the prism of the real experiences of victims. The focus was on sensitivity, dignity, and justice — which should be present not in slogans, but in the courtroom. EVACUATION The MARTIN-club team also worked in the Malomykhailivska community of Dnipropetrovsk region, 17 km from the front line. At the request of the regional administration, we provided psychological support to 42 residents who were in the evacuation zone. Specialists helped people who were faced with the need to leave their homes - they consulted, reduced anxiety, and supported the decision-making process. PEACEBUILDING Throughout July, we organized four forum theater performances in Dnipro. Through dramatic scenes based on real events, we opened up topics that are usually kept quiet — violence, discrimination, social vulnerability, and indifference. The format involved not only viewing, but also active participation: viewers could come on stage and suggest alternative scenarios for the development of events. This created a space for reflection and finding solutions. According to feedback, over 90% of participants felt more understanding, solidarity, and a desire to influence change in their environment after watching. Also, throughout July, all services of the NGO MARTIN-club worked in a stable mode: hotline, mobile teams, case managers, social workers, lawyers, psychologists, children's and women's spaces. We continued to provide humanitarian and financial support to women who have suffered from violence. This month has once again confirmed that systemic change is only possible with trust, cooperation and open dialogue. Through our joint work, we support the safety of children, women and communities, restoring their dignity and strength for the future. We thank everyone who is involved in this change - together we move forward.
- Child Sexual Violence: How the System Responds — and What Each of Us Can Do
Children who witness or experience violence don’t just “forget” Sexual violence is a difficult topic to discuss. But it becomes even more painful when it concerns children. Often, adults are unsure how to respond — they hesitate, wondering “was that really abuse?”, especially if the child doesn’t speak up, if there’s no clear evidence, or if shame gets in the way. And while all this unfolds, the child remains alone with something they cannot name or explain. Even if it’s not direct abuse, simply growing up in an environment where violence is present causes harm. Children who are constantly exposed to aggression live under chronic stress. It affects their ability to concentrate, their anxiety levels, their capacity to learn and communicate. Later in life, they often repeat these patterns or find themselves in violent situations again. This is not coincidence — it’s the result of unprocessed trauma that was never acknowledged or stopped in time. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, MARTIN Club supported 32 cases of child sexual abuse. Each one wasn’t just a number in a database. It was a real child — often very young. A family. Fear. And hope that someone would respond properly. How the system responds: establishing a specialized service We’ve learned from experience: support doesn’t become effective just because it “exists.” For help to truly work, someone needs to bring it all together. That’s why in 2025, MARTIN Club launched a specialized Expert Response Service for child survivors of sexual violence, including cases related to the war (CRSV). It’s a unique structure within the civil sector and is already operating on a regional level. This service is activated once a case is reported — by police, a hospital, social services, the MARTIN Club hotline, or any other communication channel. At that point, a professional team steps in: a case manager, psychologist, lawyer, social worker — all of them highly trained in responding to traumatic events involving children. The service doesn’t rely on intuition. It operates systematically — based on approved protocols, interagency cooperation, and structured coordination. It was designed to prevent help from falling apart into disconnected pieces — a single conversation, a one-off police report, a hospital visit — and nothing more. The team builds an individual response plan, supports the child through every stage, documents the case, represents the child’s interests, and ensures that the goal is The role of the case manager: someone who holds it all together When something like this happens, families often don’t know where to begin. Do they go to the police first? Or to the doctor? Should they see a psychologist? Should they file a report? How do they talk to the child? In those moments, it’s crucial to have someone who sees the full path ahead. 👉 The case manager is that person. They coordinate support, explain rights to the parents, and bring together the efforts of lawyers, law enforcement, and mental health professionals. They ensure the child is not retraumatized and — most importantly — that the child doesn’t just go through the motions, but actually begins to recover. What can adults do? If you learn that a child has experienced sexual violence, your responsibility is not just moral — it’s legal. ✅ According to Resolution No. 585 “On Ensuring the Social Protection of Children in Difficult Life Circumstances,” any adult who becomes aware of a case of violence against a child is required to report it to the police, the child welfare service, or another authorized body within 24 hours . This doesn’t just apply to teachers or social workers — it applies to anyone who witnesses or learns of such a situation. Here’s what you can do: Contact the police immediately — by calling 102 or visiting the nearest station. Notify the local child welfare service — in your municipality. Reach out to a support organization , such as MARTIN Club. And here’s how you can support the child: Provide safety and stability — stay close, even when the danger seems to have passed. Allow the child to express themselves — through conversation, drawing, play, or anything familiar. Model healthy relationships — ones based on respect, safety, and trust. Help rebuild their confidence — offer encouragement, acknowledge their strengths, and remind them they are not to blame. Unfortunately, sexual violence against children is not rare. And the worst thing we can do is look away or stay silent, hoping it will somehow resolve itself. Support isn’t just about professionals. It’s about attentive adults. About the willingness to act. About those who aren’t afraid to take responsibility — for the child and for the system. At MARTIN Club, we work every day to make that system real: responsive, humane, and professional. But every system begins with a single call. 📞 MARTIN Club Helpline: +38 099 632 77 01 Available via Viber and Telegram. Confidential.
- Women, Peace and Security: 25 Years of UNSCR 1325,
This May, the MARTIN Club team participated in the international conference “Women, Peace and Security: 25 Years of UNSCR 1325,” held in Oslo, Norway. The event brought together international leaders, activists, and experts to reflect on the achievements and challenges in advancing the Women, Peace and Security agenda, calling for continued support, recognition of women’s roles, and the strengthening of their influence in peacebuilding and security processes worldwide. Anastasiia Pliushchova, MARTIN Club’s project manager, joined the panel discussion “Life Without Fear: Preventing Violence, Protecting Women’s Rights, and Fighting for Accountability and Justice.” She emphasized that since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukrainian women have been bearing tremendous responsibilities—often acting as both parents, caregivers, and breadwinners—while lacking sufficient resources or institutional support. She also drew attention to the rapid militarization of Ukrainian society, which increases risks of violence against women and exacerbates their vulnerability. Following the main conference program, participants took part in a roundtable organized by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad). The discussion focused on the challenges faced by civil society organizations in conflict settings and during post-war recovery, highlighting the real needs of survivors which should remain central to the efforts of all stakeholders. Together with Norwegian People’s Aid, MARTIN Club presented the outcomes of two and a half years of partnership, through which women in communities across Dnipropetrovsk oblast have received tangible support, strengthened their resilience, and navigated difficult life circumstances. For us, this was more than just participation in an event—it was a way to carry the voices, truths, and strength of Ukrainian women to the places where decisions are made. And it was a reminder of the urgent need for continued support, recognition, and empowerment of women in peace and security processes in Ukraine and beyond. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be heard. Photo by Ellen Johanne Jarli

- Vilna celebrates Halloween!
The good witches of "Vilna" have already started preparations for the most mystical day of the year - Halloween. First, they conjured up the appropriate holy atmosphere with the help of our visiting fairies under the guidance of needlewoman Anastasia. The girls created Halloween attributes: bright toadstools, witches' hats, cute ghosts and many other creepy but charming crafts. Glue, paper, glitter and paints - and the "Vilna" space turned into a wizard's workshop. Then they added the drawings of female visitors under the guidance of teacher Yevgenia👩🎨, and during the English lesson they held a performance in the appropriate style. Finally, in order not to go hungry, they held a master class on creating a "magical" pumpkin cream soup Voila! Preparation for Halloween is complete! We invite everyone who is on the side of good to the space of creativity, self-development and safe communication - in "Vilna"!
