From Heart to Heart
Hi, my name is Kseniya Forte. For many years, Italia Per Famiglie company, established by me, has been organizing different events and trips for children in Italy . But before this spring there wasn't such an important project for me than the one You'll read about hereunder.

Many Ukrainians should escape from their motherland to save their life. They are women with children. Formation of a friendly team, meeting with country traditions, revealing emotions through the art and creation, are able to give peace of mind and a sense of stability for a while.
My wish is to give a warmth of home, a friendly hug, and, if necessary, a shoulder to those who need it.

We prepared this proposition for the families and children from Ukraine who were being forced to stay on the territory of Italy.
Ukrainian people can register to participate in one or more events free of charge.
My own goal is to make that children from Ukraine and Russian children in the game, in creativity, in a joint conversation and lessons could erase the boundaries of distrust, cruelty, senseless slaughter, which adults call the word "war".


I'd like much Russian children or bilingual children will take part in the master classes on a paid basis.

We cooperate with the best guides and teachers, with museums and parks and we would like to support people who expressed their desire to participate in the Project. Besides, we need financial support for purchasing materials and renting premises.
Payment for the Event is the mode to tell "we are with you", a way to make a small action and to help not only with the world. Besides, I see great value in the possibility of spending time together with children from mixed or Russian-speaking families, who lives in Italy with children from Ukraine. So, we are taking the step to be close in relations between the countries , which apparently, will distance themselves for many years to come.
Our Mission is
  • To create comfortable environment for Ukrainian children, integrate them, implement a community for communication
  • To translate the possibility of maintaining friendly relations between Russia and Ukraine by the communication between children from these countries
  • To help Ukrainians, staying in Italy, use their work skills
  • To make for children from Ukraine a creative spaces in Ital
Choose your status in Italy. And the site will take you to the page of free registration for events (for citizens of Ukraine) or to the page of payment (for citizens of other countries).

Dmitry Fedorov is a skateboarder with experience, the author of a project on the personalization of skates and the experience of teaching private lessons. Dmitry makes his own skateboards based on his unique collages. " I always use materials that I happen to see in everyday life - these are clippings from newspapers, magazines and brochures."

It is possible to engage in sketching at the amateur level from an early age. In my opinion, at five or six years old, the child is ready to stand on the board and learn to feel it. I think that almost every child likes it. Skating gives freedom and activity».

Ceramic class with Anna Kapyrina in Rome
Anna Kapyrina - is a ceramist and founder of the Anna Kapyrina Ceramic studio - little workshop studio for big experiments. Anna teaches children pottery, modelling and pottery decoration.

"Ceramics is a way of life, a way of thinking. It is an adventure. No other material gives so much scope for imagination, so many ways of working, resources and a deep sense of the creative process as clay. I love watching children getting to know clay, crumpling, cutting, beating, smearing, using different tools. There is no need to rush the child, they are not spoiled, they are learning the properties of the material, its possibilities: texture, plasticity, how the clay reacts to exposure."

For all ages
Class duration 3 hours
Meeting place: Roma (exact meeting place to be specified)
