Charity  Flower Power - this is absolute happiness, freedom, lightness and love - a real little Woodstock in Kiev. June 23-24, it will be possible to plunge into a positive bocho-atmosphere, dress up in all the most variegated, drown in the oceans of flowers and truly relax. The event will hold lectures and master classes, organize a large inclusive children's zone Disneyland, and all the profits will be given to charity. For the second consecutive year, we dedicate the flea market to the socialization of children with disabilities and fully fund a camp for children with complex disabilities of SpaceCamp.

SpaceCamp is a space where children can develop, grow and grow up together, regardless of diagnoses or their absence. Last year, SpaceCamp united in the space of love and acceptance of more than 150 children. The project is designed for children who have complex violations (for example, a child has cerebral palsy, he does not see, hears badly, epilepsy). Such children and adolescents stayed aside, they do not attend gardens, schools, circles with their peers, are completely isolated from society.

In SpaceCamp everyone was able to learn something new, to get a new experience: someone first celebrated his birthday for real - with friends, cake, candles and gifts, someone learned to eat himself, someone decided that vegetables - not the most terrible thing in the world, someone first zipped their sandals, someone first participated with everyone in the game.

This year, the camp plans to take even more children between the ages of 4 to 16 years. The program of the camp includes hiking, quests, parties, fishing, competitions, wakeboards, shopping trips, many master classes and the final reporting party-fair. During the project, children learn to help each other, listen and hear, try to build relationships. The uniqueness of the project is that we have created a space in which children with complex developmental disabilities and without violations are. Children with developmental disabilities receive a rich, diverse, invaluable experience of communicating with many new people, both adults and their peers. In the camp, they can use the skills acquired in the course of corrective exercises in various real life situations. Children develop autonomy, a sense of responsibility and independence.

Normally developing children in the context of an inclusive camp acquire a new experience of communicating with peers with developmental disabilities, realizing the difficulties faced by children with disabilities. They learn to accept differences, this instills in them sensitivity, tolerance.

Children are in the camp from 9:00 to 19:00, which allows moms to relax and take care of themselves.
