We would like to share the news: the Artsvit Gallery received a number of children's books as part of the "Suitcase with Books" project, and from now on, a small library will operate in our classes of the "Artsvit for Kids" program.
We have already started using them - to introduce children to the works of both Ukrainian and foreign authors. You can also take books from our suitcase home for a certain period of time for free, but they must be returned so that more children have the opportunity to read interesting works.
“Suitcase with Books” is a project designed for children, parents, teachers, and librarians. Children’s literature experts Yulia Kozlovets, Oleksandra Savchenko, Valentyna Vzdulska, Tetyana Stus, Oksana Lushchevska, Kateryna Sukhorebska, and Kateryna Mikhalitsyna have selected 22 books that will help children make friends with their emotions and discuss what worries them through books. The goal of the project is to provide Ukrainian children with the leisure they so need during this difficult war period.
