Ukrainian Mothers and Children's retreat

We are holding a free retreat for Ukrainian mothers and their children and teenagers at the Art Centre in Casole d'Elsa to be able to take a holiday and relax and enjoy the beauty of the Centre, the village and the surrounding countryside.  This is being hosting in connection with Nadya Molagova, a Russian artist who has set up a refugee centre, since 2023 in her Classical Art Academy in Florence.  Nadya will provide a plein air programme for the mothers while a group of volunteers will provide activities for the young people including sports, cooking, art and music.  We would greatly value any contributions to help with the cost of hosting and providing meals, helping with any travel costs etc for the retreat. For anyone living locally we would also appreciate very much the loan of a few camping beds so that mothers and children can share rooms more easily.   

 Stiamo organizzando un ritiro gratuito per le mamme ucraine ed i loro bambini e raggazzi presso il Centro d'Arte di Casole d'Elsa per poter prendersi una vacanza di relax e godersi la bellezza del Centro, del borgo e della campagna circostante. L'evento è ospitato in connessione con Nadya Molagova, artista russa che dal 2023 ha allestito un centro per rifugiati, nella sua Accademia d'Arte Classica a Firenze. Nadya fornirà un programma plein air per le mamme mentre un gruppo di volontari offrirà attività per i giovani tra cui sport, cucina, arte e musica. Apprezzeremmo molto qualsiasi contributo per aiutare con i costi di hosting e fornitura dei pasti, aiuto con eventuali spese di viaggio ecc. per il ritiro. Per chi vive nella zona apprezzeremmo molto anche il prestito di alcuni lettini da campeggio in modo che mamme e bambini possano condividere più facilmente la stanza.
