 While the Russian aggression in Ukraine rages on, some 5.8 million refugees, most of whom are women and children, have found comfort in Europe. 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 Pomorsky region in Poland, with the support of the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association Gdansk branch, hosted children from Ukraine in vineyards. During their stay, Ukrainian children had the chance to discover Polish culture and share their traditions with their peers from Poland, spending quality time together, making new friends, resting and enjoying the summer. We spoke to Mieszyslav Struk, Marshal of the Pomorsky region and member of the EPP-COR group who organised this summer camp. I wanted to use the free resources that were left for us, especially after the explosion of the Russian-Ukrainian War, from the Polish-Russian program, so that they would be dedicated and not for projects carried out in Russia, but for the organisation of the rest of the children and youth from Ukraine. We decided, thanks to cooperation with the Polish Scouts, to organise a camp for over 30 children from Ukraine in the area of the Harselsky camp, organised by the Harsers from Gdansk. More than 90 children from Ukraine were able to visit this camp. Today they know a little bit of Gdansk, a little bit of the history of the military government, and so, thanks to the program, children from the European Central Committee, and thanks to the initiative of the Regional Committee, they were able to help to recognise some of the Polish culture and feel more safe. We also spoke to Ms Magdalena Grinić from the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association Gdansk branch, who shared with us what children were up to during the camp. The children had the opportunity to experience the Polish Sky Fresco, restored by the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk. We were told in history that the sky was destroyed. Today, the youth recognised the history of this place. And this fresco was restored in some way. It is, in a sense, a symbol of the fact that totalitarianism must simply fall. And such a hope for the Ukrainian youth, that this situation, which is in Ukraine, has a place, will also, at some point, take place. EPP-COR members have already organised summer camps in Niem, France, Mara Murisz, Romania, Bavaria, Germany, and in Wielkopolska region, Poland. The costs of the camps are footed by the EU municipalities and regions together with public, private and civil society partners. Meanwhile, EPP-led cities and regions remain committed to contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine through the European Alliance of Cities and Regions for the Reconstruction of Ukraine and by revitalising twinning to give these children a better future.
