Help adopted kids with special needs get education

In this academic year, the children's film studio began to work. There are 10 children from 9 to 15 years from adoptive families in the studio. Many of them had very sad moments in their life, and we want the classes to increase their self-confidence, the joy of joint work, the strength to overcome difficulties.

All this time, the guys have been learning to work in a team, negotiate, do not only what they want, but also what the team needs. Without this, it is impossible to engage in cinema. Perhaps this is the main thing that was achieved during this time - we managed to find a common solutions. 

We began work on a film about Prometheus, where everyone has their place. Each participant has many small achievements. Tolya masters the skill of the operator, Anna not only plays the role, but also helps to create the costumes, Vitya and Dima learn to be patient, Zoya began to stutter much less, and on the stage she feels more confident and free. This is very important, because the main task of the children's film studio is not only film making, but also the development and rehabilitation of all participants. 

We are grateful to everyone who supports our project. Thanks to you, children learn to work in a team, to feel more confident and independent. We really appreciate your help!

This year we conduct two educational groups for adopted children from 10 to 14 years old.

In the one group classes teenagers develop social skills, communication skills and self-knowledge. Of particular interest to the children was the topic of power and control over themselves and other people. We all want to feel omnipotent! The guys experimented and studied how they manage their power and influence. It turned out that it is very difficult, because it is associated with responsibility. Here is the opening occurred in one of our sessions.

On the other half of our group formed a real Studio to create a movie! The group was joined by professionals: actors, directors and even makeup specialists. There was a place for graduates of our resource center, adult children who continue to communicate with us. In the classroom, the children learn to be real actors, to get used to the role, as the children themselves come up with scenarios for the future of the film. There is a place for every child, if someone does not want to be in the frame, it is possible to learn how to work with the camera and be an operator. The process of creating a movie is in full swing!

We are grateful to everyone who shows interest in our work and supports us. Your attention is very important.  We will continue to share with you our successes and achievements of our guys!
