Freedom Diaries becomes part of the educational process in Vienna

The educational and art-therapy project Freedom Diaries has been integrated into the curriculum of the 4th and 5th grades at the Ukrainian Saturday School in Vienna. The first lessons have already taken place.

The project team attended the open classes and, together with the teachers, led the sessions for the students. The children worked with the theme “Suitcase of Memory”: on a large shared suitcase, they wrote, drew, glued, and placed everything that feels truly important to them today.

For our team, this is a particularly meaningful step, as it involves the largest Ukrainian school abroad in Europe — a space where hundreds of children every weekend continue to preserve the Ukrainian language, culture, and their connection to home.

We are sincerely grateful to the school’s team for their trust and openness to collaboration. The first feedback confirms that these lessons create an important space for dialogue, creativity, and the strengthening of Ukrainian identity.

Together, we help Ukrainian children grow up with a strong sense of who they are.
