Last weekend, the puppets Kuma and Kumy in folk costumes welcomed the visitors of the Ecopark. Everyone was able to make photos with them against the background of the traditional folk decoration. The fascinating performance “Granny’s Box” devoted to the holiday of the Intercession of the Theotokos was prepared by the Theatre of Children and Animals.
On Saturday, the Green Location became the arena for the real tournament. The Historical Reenactment Club “Knyaz” not only carried out the exhibition battles, but also provided the spectators with the opportunity to become interactive participants of the tournament.
Kharkiv’s rescuers demonstrated their professional skills, like the rescue of people, the struggle with the elements and man-made emergency situations on Sunday, when they gave their exhibition performance for the visitors of the Feldman Ecopark. They also demonstrated the technical accessories and the methods of work with them. The visitors of the Ecopark were also offered to try on workwear, to get into rescue vehicle, and of course to make photos. The theme quiz was carried out for the most inquisitive ones, the winners of which got memorable gifts.
Inna Shukshina, the media and public relations manager of the Main Administration of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Kharkiv oblast, informed that the purpose of the similar events is the popularization of the work of rescue service, the education of the population and the prevention of cases of emergency. “We carry out the events “Let’s make life safe” on a regular basis. Their aim is to demonstrate the fundamentals of safe life to as much people as possible, especially children, and to tell about the work of rescuers. We also tell about the reasons of emergency situations and about how it is necessary to behave in these cases,” Inna Shukshina noted.
The sport entertaining programme “Cossacks Never Say Die!” for children and adults was devoted to the Day of Ukrainian Cossacks. Everyone was able to compete in tug-of-war and take part in sack battles. The exercises with kettlebells were especially popular, as many visitors of the Feldman Ecopark wanted to demonstrate their ability in weight lifting. The quiz for children and adults “Cossack glory” within the “Mind Boom Show!” was devoted to the history of Ukrainian Cossacks.
The Odnopolchany choir of the Kharkiv Garrison House of Officers gave their festive concert on the main location of the Feldman Ecopark.
“We prepared this special programme before the Day of Defender of Ukraine not only to be entertaining, but also to be aimed at patriotic education. We deliberately turned to the history, to the Cossacks times, because Ukrainian people respect the holiday of the Intercession of the Theotokos from time immemorial. It was traditionally celebrated as the Day of Ukrainian Cossacks, and it is now celebrated as the Day of Defender of Ukraine as well. During these alarming times, when our warriors have to struggle for Ukraine’s independence, this holiday has a special symbolic meaning,” Andrii Roshchupkin, the Director of the Feldman Ecopark said.
