Two inspiring events took place at the inclusive café "The Friend's House", bringing together people interested in inclusion, art, and personal development.

On January 31, we gathered for a lecture by Andrey Pashchenko, producer, director, and head of the inclusive art platform adamdart. Andrey shared his experience working on inclusive projects, having created over 20 performances and shows featuring individuals with ASD, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, ADHD, and other special needs. The project "Theater Emergency Service" sparked particular interest, as it makes theater accessible to those who cannot attend in person. The lecture attracted over 20 participants who discovered new perspectives on art as a tool for social integration.

On February 1, the café hosted Autism English Talks with Avicena.pro, where participants explored the topic of autism while improving their English language skills. It was more than just a lesson—it was a dialogue about global approaches to inclusion and the unique characteristics of individuals with ASD. Over 40 participants actively engaged in discussions and exercises, enhancing not only their language abilities but also their understanding of the topic.

Both events highlighted the importance of creating spaces for sharing experiences, offering support, and inspiring one another.

We are excited to announce the launch of new sections at our café, designed to make your time with us even more interesting and meaningful:

Inclusive Cinema: “Over a Cup of Tea” — Screenings and discussions of films about the lives of people with special needs.

Culinary Masterclasses: “The Art of Being Together” — Learn the secrets of delicious cooking while enjoying a warm, friendly atmosphere.

Meetings with Parents and Experts: “Change One Life” — Heartfelt conversations about supporting children with special needs.

Inclusive Blogger — Discuss how to promote the ideas of equal opportunities through social media.

Business Breakfasts and Business Lunches — Cozy gatherings to discuss social projects and initiatives.


Join us at "The Friend's House" to help build a community where everyone matters!
