HOW WAS IT?
2 minutes before the start of registration, we heard the sound of the air alarm stop, so it's high time to go!
The Fortress of Invincibility is a very symbolic place for our heroes to meet! This is where our common story began ❤️
The second day we spent on the train and in the plane.
We heard that many members were flying for the first time in their life, some had their first vacation in 9 years and we are really glad to be able to give this opportunity! Next, we stayed at the fabulous Hotel Saltsjobaden and fell into its hospitality and love!
The day of acquaintance was full of incredible stories.
Now the participants understood what a strong environment they got into. Also on this day, we had a historical lecture by Ihor Osypenko on the topic "UKRAINE-SWEDEN 1000 YEARS OF INTERACTION". The lecturer once again proved to us that Ukraine has been defending its rights for independence not for one year, not for nine years, but for hundreds of years.
On December 16, Marina Trattner shared new facts about Ukraine with the participants
which she personally found in the Swedish National Archives. Then Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden, Tobias Bilstrom visited us, and we held a truly atmospheric partnership photo shoot for the participants on the shores of the Baltic Sea.
On the fifth day of the trip, we held a press conference for representatives of the Swedish media.
ПDN.SE and Sverige Radio published articles about us. The day continued with daily psychological group sessions and an evening tour in Stockholm city.
This day was remembered by our participants with a trip to Jurgoden Island, the place where most of the city's museums are concentrated.
Project participants visited Skansen open-air museum with a guided tour, and then had free time to visit one of the other museums on the island (Vasa, Unibaken, Nordiska, Abba Museum or Viking Museum).
The morning began with a special visit to the local astronomical observatory of the town of Salzjöbaden.
Then we had a busy day with professional visits: Sophiahemmet Hospital, Aleris Rehabilitation Center and Framtidståger Reintegration Center for displaced people.
We devoted the last day of our stay in Sweden to reflecting on our stay.
At psychological sessions, participants shared their feedback, feelings and ideas for future projects. An unforgettable part of the program was a solemn joint dinner accompanied by Ukrainian and Swedish artists.
This day was accompanied by endless hugs and thanks for a successful trip.
Upon returning to Ukraine, we were met by the Swedish ambassador to Ukraine, who repeatedly emphasized during the press conference importance of organizing such events for Ukrainian heroes.
More than one month has passed since our return, and in our favorite chat with project participants important tips and successes of our Ukrainian heroes are exchanged every day!
