On June 1, the Foundation created and presented the video, advocating for the protection of the childhood of Ukrainian children during the war.
With our media resources, we consider it our duty to support social initiatives that highlight important current issues. Every child in Ukraine has their own war experience, and we adults must help these children find support and opportunities for recovery. This is especially important now, as we fight together for our future. Because children are our future,
commented Kateryna Zhurakivska, Marketing Director of the Gulliver Business Center.
The children featured in the video were overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing themselves on Europe's largest LED screen.
Oh, that's me! Or is it…?
Liubomyr couldn't believe his eyes.

Residents and visitors of Kyiv will be able to see the video throughout the year. Previously, the Gulliver Business Center screened clips from the "Do you hear what this is about?" social-campaign, which reached over 21 million Ukrainians.
We'd like to remind you that "Voices of Children" psychologists continue to help families with children overcome the consequences of war.

August at Voices of Children: Youth Retreat, Celebrity Visits, and the End of the Camp Season

August was a really eventful month at the Foundation, even as Russian attacks across Ukraine intensified and children and their families spent many nights in shelters. Sessions continued at our regional centers, along with outreach visits to communities. For the first time, alumni of all our art residencies came together in the Carpathians, while Liev Schreiber and Katheryn Winnick visited our Kyiv center. Well-known Ukrainians read poems by our teenagers, the “Thread” photo exhibition set off on a tour through Ukrposhta branches, the summer camp season came to an end, and together with the band Hyphen Dash, we completed a fundraiser for psychological support. Here is a closer look at each of these events.

“Hold Fast to Life”: Actress Katheryn Winnick Meets Ukrainian Children Affected by the Russian War in Kyiv
Canadian actress and director of Ukrainian descent, best known for her roles as Lagertha in Vikings and Hannah Burley in Bones, came to Kyiv ahead of Ukraine’s Independence Day. While here, she visited our center and met children, including those who had lived through Russian occupation and those forced to leave their homes because of the war. The night before the visit was a difficult one: air raid sirens woke the team in the middle of the night. Katheryn recalled that her “heart rate was pounding, coming out of her chest.” 
For the First Time Ever: Voices of Children Brings Together Alumni of All Its Arts Residencies
For six days in August, a bar appeared in the Carpathians where you paid for tea not with money, but with leaves from the trees. Nearby, teenagers flew kites against the mountain backdrop, while every evening brought live music. This was the Youth Retreat — a major gathering that brought together alumni of the Voices of Children Foundation’s arts labs from across Ukraine. Each of these teenagers had previously taken part in one of our creative residencies. This time, for the first time, they all came together in one place.
