 While the Russian aggression in Ukraine rages on, 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 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 Maramurysh County Council in Romania, together with the Association of Cities in Ukraine, the Maramurysh Prefects Institution, the Maramurysh Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, YMCA Romania and YMCA Bayamare have organised a camp for Ukrainian children from conflict zones in Donetsk, Kharchiv, Mikhailaev and Butcher. During their stay, Ukrainian children had the chance to participate in sports activities, as well as visit cultural centres. They visited the Bayamare Museum of Astronomical Sciences, where in the Planetarium Dome, they watched a presentation of the constellations and the movie Satellics in Ukrainian. They also visited the Village Museum, as well as the old centre of the Bayamare municipality, where they could admire the historical ruins and Steven's Tower. The children also enjoyed themselves through a series of activities such as Olympic Games, dance battles, archery, talent shows and team challenges. At the end of the camp, each Ukrainian child received a small gift. Ionel Ovidiu Bogdan, president of the Maramurysh County Council and member of the EPPCOR Group who joined the camp, told Ukrainian parents and children that Maramurysh stands with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people and that the county will continue to play an active role to ensure a better future for Ukraine and its people. EPPCOR members have already organised summer camps in Niem, France, Bavaria, Germany and in the regions of Wielkopolska and Pomerania in Poland. The costs of the camps are footed by the EU municipalities and regions participating, together with public, private and civil society partners. The president of the Association of Cities of Ukraine and Mayor of Kiev, Vitaly Klitschko, congratulated the cities and regions that organised camps in the European Union for Ukrainian children, saying that this is an act of solidarity that provides a sense of normalcy to some of the millions of Ukrainian children whose lives have been upended by the war. Meanwhile, cities and regions remain committed to contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine to give these children a better future.
