Summer without worries: children from frontline communities vacation in France and Poland
When Ukrainian communities work side by side, borders are no obstacle. So children from frontline communities went on a summer vacation to France and Poland.
40 children arrived in the French city of Bourguignon-Jallier: these are young residents of Smila and children from the partner communities of Rohany and Savyntsy.
Ahead are 13 days of new acquaintances and communication with French peers. Along the way, the children have already visited Dresden, and in France, together with new friends, they joined the celebration of Bastille Day.
The trip was organized thanks to the cooperation of the Smila community with the communities of Rohany and Savyntsy, the partnership of Smila with Bourguignon-Jallier, and the support of the EuropePrychystok platform.
And children from the Dobropil community of the Donetsk region spent part of their summer vacation in Wroclaw, Poland.
The Stryi community, a partner of Dobropil, helped organize the trip. Excursions, recreation, and getting to know the city were prepared for the children. They also visited the Consulate General of Ukraine in Wroclaw and talked with Ukrainian diplomats.
For Ukrainians whose childhood passed next to the war, these trips return what the war is trying to take away from them: security, smiles, and bright memories.When Ukrainian communities work side by side, borders are no obstacle.
