Festive Celebrations in Education: Christmas and New Year

During the Christmas and New Year celebrations, educational institutions in the city traditionally host a series of festive events. 

In preschool establishments, thematic activities titled «Christmas Star at the Doorstep» took place, allowing children to immerse themselves in the Christmas atmosphere, learn about the traditions of Christmas Eve, and recreate some of them.

Additionally, musical-literary entertainments and thematic classes about festive Ukrainian traditions were organized for the little ones. Preschoolers, along with their teachers, sang traditional Ukrainian carols, danced in circles, and prepared festive stars and amulets.

Moreover, preschool institutions held exhibitions of drawings themed «Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!».

At the Odessa children's home «Pearl», «Ukrainian Evenings» took place. Boys and girls made dumplings and cooked kutia. Then the children had a festive meal together and received sweet gifts. After lunch, they attended the performance «In Search of Light». 

At the Odessa Palace of Children and Youth Creativity «White Acacia», a New Year show titled «Dreams Come True» was held. More than 200 students - young actors, singers, and dancers - showcased their talents, providing the audience with incredible emotions and positive impressions.

As part of the «Warm Wave» campaign, students prepared letters for defenders, which, along with treats, were sent to the hospital for wounded soldiers and defenders at the front.
