Dear friends!
We thank you for your support and we want to tell you about the most important moments of our project in the last 3 months.
The reporting period was devoted to the preparation for the VIII International Book Arsenal. This is an important intellectual event of the country, uniting literature and art. More than 150 publishers and projects present their best novelties, and designers, illustrators, artists - exhibition projects. The exhibition is attended by about 200 Ukrainian writers and 75 guests from 30 countries of the world.
At Book Arsenal, we presented a series of books "Special books for special" for children. These are the books of Yulia Ilyukha "Stories of Zvirynka" by Elena Sarzhenko "Adventures of Shershavka" and Katerina Babkina "Pumpkin Year". Books are issued taking into account the standards of universal design, in addition, have an audio record of the text of the book. Little children are delighted with books! Because they have relief drawings and surprises.
For adult readers, we have prepared a collection "The Eyes of the Blind" published in Ukrainian and Russian. The collection tells about the life of an unusual blind man - Vasily Eroshenko., A writer, translator, educator, traveler.
We also shared with our guests the "Book Arsenal" our achievements in the adaptation of board games for blind children. We introduced the game "Vazhnitsa". "Vazhnitsa" is a game that unites the generation, develops intellectually and spiritually, and also inspires further study of the native language, literature, history, and culture.
The first copy of the adapted game we presented for the summer camps for the blind children in the Carpathians.
