On December 6th, during the St. Nicholas Day celebration, a children and youth festival called «Halabuda Fest» took place in Odesa.
The festival united around 400 children from military families, veterans, and children from civilian families, fostering a sense of community and support.
The main idea of this creative event was to create a safe space for communication, play, music, and creativity where every child can feel supported and have the opportunity to express themselves. It is a space where friendship, joy, and creativity can flourish once again.
During the festival, various interactive workshops, creative games, art zones, as well as musical and theatrical performances for teenagers were organized.
As Deputy Mayor of Odesa, Konstantin Talalaev, noted, such events are not only cultural milestones but also crucial steps toward integrating and providing psychological support for the younger generation.
The «Halabuda Fest» was organized by the Charitable Foundation «Cultural Forces of Ukraine» with support from the Department of Education and Science of the Odesa City Council.
