Warmth and safety for all: arrangement of shelters in Lyubotyn

Among the 14 projects that received support, initiatives that make the shelter of educational institutions a comfortable space for children, adolescents and teachers of the community deserve special attention.

‍

What is this project about?

The project provides for the arrangement of shelters of educational support institutions of Lyubotyn with comfortable soft poufs so that children can rest, study and psychologically recover during anxieties. It is a continuation and logical complement to other community projects: as long as Learning in Safe Classrooms provides education and sports initiatives provide physical activity, this project creates a comfortable environment where children and teachers feel safe and can focus on learning and development.

‍

Why is it important?

In shelters, children spend many hours every day, especially during air alarms.

‍

Without a comfortable space:

• no place to rest after classes or physical activities
• difficult to hold circles or psychological classes
• more difficult to maintain discipline and concentration

‍

Soft poufs and landscaped areas allow:

• organize a space for study and rest at the same time
• create areas for group and individual classes

‍

How the project changes the community

The project complements other initiatives of the Lyubotin community:

• “Learning and Development in Safe Classrooms” Gives Knowledge
• “Sportwave” supports physical development
• “Warmth and safety for all” creates coziness and psychological comfort

‍

Together, they form a comprehensive approach to supporting children in the community: education, sports, psychological stability and safety - all work as an integrated mechanism.

‍

Who creates change

The project implements Local Initiatives Agencyon the initiative of a community group: parents, teachers and volunteers who already work daily in shelters, know the needs of children and are ready to ensure that the equipped areas are really used.

‍

Their expertise in creating safe and friendly spaces ensures that new furniture and poufs will not just stand, but will be an active resource for the development, relaxation and psychological recovery of each child.

‍

The Ministries are implemented within the project “Strengthening the Resilience of Communities through the Support of Communities Initiatives” approach with the financial support of the international humanitarian organization HEKS/EPER (Switzerland) in coordination with Alliance for Public Health
