On February 3, 2024, young participants of the humanitarian project of the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly “Eurasia Kids” “visited” fabulous India. The guide for the children was Ramisa Baygereeva, a member of the Association of Russian Compatriots in India (IARC), coordinator at the Russian House in Mumbai, founder of the Living Traditions Club, specialist and expert in the study of India since 2009.
Children from Russia, Kazakhstan, and South Korea came together online. The guys learned that India is a country of fruits and spices, hot weather and strong contrasts. That winter in this country also happens with snow and sub-zero temperatures. The children got acquainted with the colorful holidays of India and learned a lot of interesting things about the culture and history of the country.
Meeting “India. Mumbai" is the ninth in a large-scale International family campaign "Winter Tales. Let's read together." The organizer of the meeting is the ANO "World of Enlightenment", headed by a married couple from Rostov-on-Don - Svetlana and Alexander Usenko.
“For the participants of our project “Eurasia Kids” it is important to find like-minded people in different regions; it is important to understand and cultivate from childhood the idea that the most important thing is at the heart of the values and traditions of any people - love and respect. All this starts in the family. The activities of Svetlana and Alexander Usenko, who have been champions of good ideas in the world of childhood for many years, are very consonant with what we do. It seems to me that the time for cooperation has come,” noted Olga Chirkova, head of the project “Eurasia Kids. Ambassadors of Peace" - President of the Udmurt regional public organization "Center for Support of Creative Initiatives Zhuraveynik+", head of the ANO "Eurasia Kids", member of the Union of Journalists of Russia.
The humanitarian project “Eurasia Kids” has been implemented since 2018. It includes information and cultural exchange between children of Russia and Eurasian countries. The project is aimed at the social and creative development of children, expanding opportunities for their self-realization in the future, intensifying public diplomacy based on the development of network connections and personal contacts between children, establishing peace and mutual understanding as the main principles of communication.
