Kazka Fest, a nation-wide massive cultural project, will take place in Kharkiv\u2019s Social and Humanitarian Multi-Complex Feldman Ecopark in August. According to the announcement made by the Feldman Ecopark\u2019s partnership projects manager Vadym Vorotynskyi in the Vremia Media Centre today, Kazka Fest starts this weekend, August 3-4, and will continue till September 1.<\/p>\n
The project is organized by the International Charitable Foundation \u201cOleksandr Feldman Foundation\u201d with the support of Ukrainian Cultural Foundation within the framework of its programme \u201cProminent Events for Ukrainian Culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
Within the framework of Kazka Fest, various activities for children and adults will be organized each weekend: theatrical performances, concerts and other events, children\u2019s book fair, master classes, quests, literature readings with the participation of modern authors of fairy tales, open-air library, as well as the children\u2019s fairy tale contest with the following publication of Kazkabook: a collection of 15 fairy tales with recommendations for parents on how to work with them.<\/p>\n
This weekend, the participants of Kazka Fest will be offered to attend fairy tale therapy lessons: the specialist will read fairy tales together with children of different age groups in three locations and then try to perform the plots by their own (starting at 11 a.m.)<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, children are currently one of the most vulnerable groups, which are subject to the influence of situation in our country. Exactly fairy tale, as the most accessible literary form for children, has an effective psychorehabilitation effect and makes it possible to develop imagination, fantasy, creativity,\u201d Vadym Vorotynskyi emphasized.<\/p>\n
\u201cKazka Fest is a logical continuation of those projects, which are implemented in Feldman Ecopark and in its Centre for Psychosocial Rehabilitation for many years. Fairy tale therapy uses different variants of creative involvement and creative self-fulfilment of people, which is especially important for children. In Feldman Ecopark, in its \u2018fairy-tale\u2019 world, these lessons have a unique format. That is why the experience obtained here should be spread across the other regions of Ukraine in the future,\u201d scientific curator of the Feldman Ecopark Centre for Psychosocial Rehabilitation, Doctor of Medicine, professor, Ukraine\u2019s Honoured Scientist and Engineer Borys Mykhailov emphasized.<\/p>\n
