Vodograi youth hold a Mindful Art workshop with natural materials

Young members of the Sillamäe Ukrainian community Vodograi held a Mindful Art workshop devoted to creativity and care for the environment. The workshop was part of the Noorte Elujõud project, supported by the Just Transition Fund (Õiglase Ülemineku Fond).

Participants made their own horseshoe-shaped charms from beans, nuts, coffee beans, pine cones, rose hips and other natural materials, and learned about the symbolic meaning of each ingredient – wishes for prosperity, health, happiness and protection of the home.

The second part of the workshop was a joint piece: using tree bark and natural materials, the children laid out individual mandala patterns that came together in one picture symbolising unity and mutual support.

The workshop was led by Tetiana Vinska (to be verified).
