The main idea is to encourage and motivate children to take up sport, look after their own health, and engage in physical activities over bad habits. Mobile Youth Work This is an international project aimed at in-depth analysis of the basic needs of children, youths and families facing vulnerabilities. The Dnipro District of Kyiv was chosen to host the pilot project with a view to developing a Ukraine-specific social work model to be used at district, city, regional, and national levels. Children's film production workshop Children's film production workshop is an educational project, during which with help of film industry professionals children are introduced to a real process of filmmaking and the main film professions. The most important is that kids create their own movies: write the script, choose the place of filming, props, and finally shoot and assemble a film. Film Production Workshop with Oksana Kazmina During the workshop, the kids had an opportunity to learn about the practical aspects of motion picture production. Under the guidance of their supervisor and other film production professionals including screenwriters, cameramen, and art directors involved in the workshop. Animated Film by Olena Kasavina Art and creativity play an important part in the lives of our children. Together with well-known animator Olena Kasavina and her students, our children produced a brilliant animated film called ‘Our Home.’ Who in their childhood never dreamed of becoming an artist, singer, or dancer? Computer Literacy The aim of this project is to teach children computer literacy skills in the most convenientmanner possible. To achieve that, a state-of-the-art computer classroom will operate on the Centre’s premises fully equipped with everything needed for learning including desks, chairs, laptops, a video projector, and other equipment.
