On September 21, the world celebrates the International Day of Peace, which symbolizes the highest value – the desire for peace for every person and nation.
On this occasion, humanitarian hubs created for residents of the Donetsk region in safe regions of Ukraine organized a number of bright and heartfelt events.
(Editor’s note: Since the city of Donetsk is under military occupation by Russia, the residents who have fled the city and gone to the Ukraine are living under regional military administration (OVA) in what are called “humanitarian hubs.”)

As part of the celebration, master classes were held under the titles “With Ukraine in the Heart”, “Children Want Peace”, “Pigeons are a Symbol of Peace”, “Fly the World, Doves of Peace” and “Embrace Peace for Ukraine”. These creative activities became a real celebration of unity, creativity and love for the Motherland. Through their works, children expressed their dreams, emotions and desire to live in harmony.

The dove, recognized as a symbol of peace and harmony, became the central image of the events. The participants created a large poster “Dove of Peace”, painted and cut out paper doves, which personify hope and unity. With particular inspiration, the children made angels, symbolizing protection and support for Ukrainian soldiers, as well as white doves as a sign of hope for a peaceful future.
The events “We are for Peace” and “Ukraine is a Dream of Peace” included quizzes, contests, battles, and discussions, during which children shared their thoughts about peace and dreams of a future without war. In a friendly atmosphere, participants also took part in photo shoots and received sweet gifts.
At the session “Peace Begins with Yourself: Restoring Internal Resources,” everyone had the opportunity to feel support and unity, strengthening their own inner strength. One of the bright results was the “Tree of Peace,” decorated with doves — symbols of goodness and hope, which became small messages of peace for all of Ukraine.
The International Day of Peace reminded us of the importance of unity, mutual respect, and support. Children’s smiles, sincere wishes, and symbolic doves created an atmosphere of faith, hope, and togetherness.
