The Donetsk Regional Museum of Local History held an educational event entitled «The Museum Surprises: Travel, Interaction, Creativity» for older people and people with disabilities who have found refuge in the Khmelnytskyi region.
The format of the event combined educational and creative elements. Participants took a virtual tour of the museum estate of Volodymyr Nemirovich-Danchenko and Mykola Korff in Neskuchne and learnt more about its history. They also took part in a linocut workshop and created prints depicting the estate.
During the interactive tour «The Seven Most Amazing Museums in the World2, those present were introduced to unusual museums and exhibits. During the «Word from the Past» quiz, they tested their knowledge of the meanings of ancient Ukrainian words.
As well as gaining new knowledge and enjoying warm company, the gathering had a creative follow-up – making their own cup coasters. For everyone, this became a unique symbol of comfort and warmth, as well as a source of pleasant memories.
The event will help foster participants’ motivation to explore art and pursue creative self-expression.
