The first weekend of this autumn was devoted to health at Art Picnic in Feldman Ecopark. Healthy Weekend gathered the record number of useful events in Kharkiv making it is possible for the participants of the project to choose the activities according to their taste and strength. The talks with doctors about children’s health, the elements of fencing, ballroom dances from scratch, open-air yoga, scout games, proper nutrition and training analysis – more than 70 free events introduced the residents of Kharkiv to healthy lifestyle.
“Many people usually think that only summer is the time to get prepared to something new and interesting. But autumn is also a big start: children go to school; someone finds a new job or a new hobby. And we wanted to show that autumn is a great season to take care of own health, to pay attention to personal development,” the coordinator of the project of Art Picnic Alla Tymoshenko told. “Our Healthy Weekend was devoted to healthy lifestyle, which is close not only to sport, bur to good general state.”
The children’s zone gave a lot of creative opportunities for the little friends: games with scouts, painting lessons, master classes in 3D pen painting, as well as felting of bead and plaits using the natural sheep wool. In the Art Open Air location, the street art studio continued its activities, where every child and his/her parents were able to feel themselves painters and to let their imagination run free.
The Sport direction entertained the guests with the incredible meetings with fitness trainers, choreographers, fencers, scouts, and yoga instructors.
Moreover, within the Healthy Weekend everyone fortified health with useful information. There were the talks “Occupational Choice” with Be Profy, “Healthy Child” with pediatrician Serhii Akinshin, “Energy for Life and Success. Efficient Tools. Meditation.” With the Sport and Fitness Centre “Unifekht,” time management training “Time as Inspiration” with the head of the CF “A Little Fire” Viktoriia Nesterenko.
The final element of the Healthy Weekend was an open-air film show and a concert with the participation of incomparable hosts Show Women Kharkov and music bands StereoFly, Jungleman, VETKA, Maryland, and Zagreb music. Music, dances, good movie and humor – everything that may be fearlessly used for prophylactic purposes in the struggle against autumn spleen and other troubles – were generously given by the artists and the curator team of Art Picnic in Feldman Ecopark from early in the morning till late at night.
