 While the Russian aggression in Ukraine rages on, some 5.8 million refugees, most of whom are women and children, have found comfort in European villages, cities and regions. Local and regional leaders have stepped in once again, this time to provide a safe place for Ukrainian children through summer camps organised across European cities and regions, an act of solidarity that offers a sense of normality to some of the millions of Ukrainian children whose lives have been shaken by the war. The Vielkopolskaya region in Poland hosted children from Kharkiv region. During their stay, Ukrainian children had the chance to participate in sport and art activities as well as visit cultural centres. We spoke to Marek Vozniak, president of Vielkopolskaya region and member of the EPP-COR group who organised this summer camp. I think it is very important for them to do their mental health so that they will be able to spend a peaceful time outside of Kharkiv region, outside of a place that is not completely safe for every day. Next to these activities that are about the acceptance of over 100,000 groups of women and children who are living in the entire Vielkopolskaya region, this help for those who are living in the area of Ukraine all the time, in this area, in the area that is subject to military activities, I think it is very important and important. I think that this activity should be continued in all places in the European Union. Vielkopolskaya took the first step here, I think it is the last one. We also spoke to Barbara Kafele, teacher at the Vielkopolskaya centre for vocational and continuous training in Jezno and to Julio Buriak from Ukraine who accompanied the kids. We try to make this time for them so that they don't feel the war situation. It seems to us that they have really allowed themselves to blow their heads a little bit, that these traumatic moments, at the moment, have a little bit gone into the shadows. But this is the only moment when they return to their school, to the place where the war is still going on. The children who are living in this area are mostly given by the children of Kharkivshchina who took part in the Olympic Games and various competitions. There are a few children in the social category, but there are very few of them. Mostly, these children are talented and talented. Did these children run before the war and had any conflicts with the war? Well, indeed, all these children have conflicts with the war because we live in the Kharkiv region and in 30 km from the accommodation of these children they go through the war. So, up to today, they are often on this land. Seeing these planes, they are moving, they know all these canons, where all these explosions, and many of them have already left the border and returned back home because everyone wants to be home. We feel great. I am extremely happy for the children and for the fact that they have the opportunity to rest and have a quiet life. They have so much love and attention. I hope that all children on the planet had the opportunity to rest in peace. EPP's COR members have already organised summer camps in Nîmes, France and Maramuresh in Romania. The camps are planned in the regions of Bavaria, Germany and in the city of Gdansk in Poland. The costs of the camps are covered by the EU municipalities and regions participating, together with public, private and civil society partners. Meanwhile, cities and regions remain committed to contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine to give these children a better future.
