Preparing for the future now as we can predict that lack of professional staff will be our problem, when tourism is back to Ukraine.

These days our director Marina Antonyuk participated as a speaker at educational session of Academy of Hospitality of Kyiv by Department of Tourism and Promotion of Kyiv city administration. Modul moderated by AITOU was dedicated to “Wow-effect in tourism”.

Our presentation “Solidarity & Volunteer tourism: helpful and bright experience” is a discussion if solidarity&volunteer tourism could also be bright. Definitely, it inspires by its responsible meaning with helpful activities for suffered communities and territories, but also could include positive emotions from cultural interaction, tasting local products from craft producers, talking with local people, sustainable support.

Cultural diplomacy.   Proud to be Ukrainian co-organizer of this charity project in Japan. 1^st in series of cultural charity exhibitions “100 motanka’s for Peace” in Japan just finished. More to come. 

We are extremely thankful to Ms.Anna Inoue from Japan, who initiated and fulfilled this project. She is main engine and soul of it.

Project includes several exhibitions, master-classes for cultural exchange: making motanka’s in Japan and making origami in Ukraine, master-classes as art-therapy for children in shelters for temporary Ukrainian refugee and charity fundraising for Ukrainian children. 

We highly appreciate of contribution of all people, supported the project, especially all the masters, who provided their master-pieces.

On the way we met fantastic people with their moving stories, how they make motanka’s during 1^st days and weeks of war, how they made master-classes in metro, which was/is bomb-shelter for families, who lived there in 1^st week’s of war. It was both heartbreaking and inspiring. We learned a lot about motanka’s and happy about this cultural wave. 

They do impressive things with really powerful messages, including beautiful projects like map of Ukraine with motanka’s and important about the history: “War chronicles by dolls”, “Story of Crimean Tatars”, “Unborn babies: story of Holodomor (huge artificial famine in Ukraine, made by soviets), really powerful things. We recommend you to visit these exhibitions in Ukraine or organize such exhibition in your country. 
We will be happy to assist you to arrange cultural exhibitions in your country.

These days our colleagues and partners have arranged another delivery of humanitarian help to support Ukrainian children.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our partners

Michelle Welsh from Dreamovator who initiated this project

and Dominic Welsh from FactaNV Solutions, who made this all real.

That’s so important for us that our partners continue to collect and deliver aid to Ukraine

The most vulnerable category in this war is children. After psychological trauma’s, received during regular bombings in Kharkiv, some of them continue living in shelters for months.

Therefore this time our partners decided to send their humanitarian help to Center of social-psychological rehabilitation of children in Kharkiv, where #children not only receive psychological help, but also live now.

More than a tonn of essentials: clothes & shoes for upcoming autumn season, sanitary items, long-term food – that’s so much valuable for them.

We highly appreciate efforts of all people and companies, who made this happen

Huge respect for all that these organizations, which keep doing in the name of humanity and kindness:
