A vibrant Ukrainian tent became a creative hub at Warsaw’s IV World Refugee Day picnic. Discover the workshops, performances, and community connections that followed.
In Warsaw, the Ukrainian community joined the IV Picnic on the occasion of World Refugee Day, held in the capital of Poland.
The official Ukraiński Dom page on Facebook confirmed the participation of Ukrainian organizations in the event.
Program and Venue
The event served as an important platform for sociocultural integration, intercultural dialogue, and the strengthening of neighborly relations between residents and internally displaced people.
The organizer of the large city-wide integration festival was the Warszawskie Centrum Pomocy Rodzinie, which created a welcoming space for communication between internally displaced people from various countries and Polish society.
During the picnic, Ukrainian volunteers and cultural figures set up their own thematic tent, which became a cozy creative space for children and adults.
The program of the Ukrainian center encompassed a series of interactive master classes: a master class in decorating eco-tote bags with artistic stamping and a workshop on weaving bright bracelets.
Acknowledgments and Next Steps
The Ukrainian House team expressed sincere gratitude to Warszawskie Centrum Pomocy Rodzinie for the invitation to partner and for creating an inclusive platform.
Also, words of gratitude were extended to the numerous guests who visited the Ukrainian booth.
As a reminder, at the Służewski House of Culture in Warsaw there was a premiere screening of the children’s musical ‘Three Wishes of Aladdin’, which united creative Ukrainian youth, diplomats, and representatives of local government.
