RAUIE held charity events for the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity

In honour of the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, the RAUIE Committee for Creative Industries, led by Ekaterina Andreas, held an open master class on making soft children's toys at the BRICS Media Centre for children and parents.

What happened at the master class?

Ekaterina Andreas introduced the participants to the Symbols of the SCO countries as part of the Committee's special project dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the SCO, which is being celebrated this year. Children and parents not only made a memorable souvenir with their own hands, but also learned more about the culture of the SCO countries in an interactive format, through a presentation of the exhibition and music composed by the Committee team in the languages of the SCO countries.

Why is this important?

"We introduce people to the culture of Russia's partner countries through personal, hands-on experience. As part of the Festival, together with our partners – the Rudomino Library of Foreign Literature and the BRICS Media Centre – we made white storks. This is one of the symbols of family, hope, and fidelity. It is also one of the symbols of the Republic of Belarus. That is why we also presented the song 'White Storks', written in Belarusian and Russian. We also presented music in the languages of the BRICS and SCO countries. This is a unique format of full immersion in new multicultural material, made possible by our professional teaching experience in presenting new material and working with children in schools," explained Ekaterina Andreas.

It should be recalled that the Rudomino Library of Foreign Literature is currently hosting:

• the exhibition "Kindness as Art", recommended for visiting by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation;
• the multimedia project "Symbols of BRICS+", developed in collaboration with the international phygital project "Comfortable City" led by Daria Kasyanova.
