Weekly social initiatives highlighting a "Kotoda" picnic and the "Navratch" festival
In June 2023, Russia is set to host a series of charitable events and projects aimed at promoting inclusive practices and supporting children with disabilities, as well as other causes.
On June 14th and 15th, the "Peredelkino" creative house and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art will host the "Meeting Point" literary inclusive festival. The event, themed around coexistence and inclusive practices, will feature theater, literature, music, visual art, and walks for visitors with diverse experiences.
Simultaneously, the V. V. Mayakovsky Library in St. Petersburg is hosting the "Another Water" exhibition by the inclusive "Simple Things" project. The exhibition showcases paintings, sculptures, several types of graphics, and sound art by 18 artists with mental differences and runs until June 22nd.
The charitable efforts are not limited to the arts. On June 7 and 8, a summer charitable market will take place in the "Tsvetnoy" department store in Moscow, supporting the "Dom s Mayakom" children's hospice. Popular actors, musicians, and bloggers will staff food stalls, and clothing, accessories, and home goods brands will provide items for donation.
Entry to the charitable market is free, and all proceeds will go to the children's hospice. The "Live Now" foundation is also launching several projects for awareness month for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). However, specific details about projects related to ALS or stray animals in Russia for June 2023 were not found in the search results.
In a different initiative, the "Club of Do-gooders" foundation and the "Velvety Hands" brand launched the "Even Strong Moms Need Care" project. The project aims to support mothers raising children with health challenges by allowing participants to share their stories and wishes. Donors will receive a discount code from the Flowwow marketplace.
The search results did not provide clear evidence of upcoming charitable events in Russia during June 2023 specifically aimed at children with disabilities, ALS, stray animals, or inclusive practices beyond the mentioned events. However, other charitable efforts related to military support and children from occupied regions with psychological adaptation projects were found.
A record holder for the number of donations is a user from the Kemerovo region, who has helped people, animals, or the environment 515 times. The record for the total amount donated goes to a user from Moscow, who has donated more than 114,000 rubles to charity. The Avito platform has launched the #IHelp badge, which has appeared in the profiles of 782,000 users.
On June 14 and 15, the "Kotodetki" foundation will host a large-scale summer festival in the Klin district to help stray animals. The specifics of this event were not detailed in the search results, but it is clear that charitable efforts for animal welfare are ongoing in Russia.
In a study, nearly half of the surveyed mothers were found to need support for their own physical and emotional well-being, highlighting the importance of these initiatives. While the search results did not provide a comprehensive list of events fitting all the criteria, they do show a commitment to charitable activities and support for children with disabilities and inclusive practices in Russia.
- In a unique collaboration, the "Club of Do-gooders" foundation and the "Velvety Hands" brand are introducing a new project titled "Even Strong Moms Need Care" in June 2023, which focuses on mental health and wellness by supporting mothers raising children with health challenges.
- To expand the scope of health-and-wellness initiatives, the "Live Now" foundation is planning to launch several mental-health-centric projects in June 2023, aiming to raise awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and foster a supportive environment for those affected by the condition.
