SKRYNYA Ukrainian Pop-Up Charity Berlin

In the organizer's words:

Dear Rasugegangen team,

We are a small initiative SKRYNYA in Berlin aiming to help Ukraine and show to Berlin that Ukraine is not only about the headlines of the war. We believe that people in Europe didn't really have a chance to learn about the creative field of Ukraine and therefore we aim to present it to Berliners. 

• We are genuine fans of the Ukrainian designers, who are most probably unknown to most Europeans, but worn by Dua Lipa, Avril Lavigne or Bella Hadid. 
• We deeply admire Ukrainian folks bringing together individual efforts into great initiatives in a unique and bold way: e.g. just in a few days Ukrainians are able to raise funds via social media to buy a space satellite.
• We feel grateful to the volunteers who turned from photographers, IT engineers or teachers into true heroes: thousands of ordinary people like us risk their lives everyday to evacuate others from the war zones, bring humanitarian and medical care or rescue animals. 

This is why we are working really hard to make our next SKRYNYA Ukrainian Pop-Up Charity Market happen.

Friday, 28.10.2022 | 15:00-23:00 (opening party until 23:00)

Saturday, 29.10.2022 | 12:00-20:00 (a stunning documentary movie screening at 18:00)

The program includes:

•  a pop-up market with 30+ Ukrainian designers in fashion, jewelry and home decorations
• artworks of Ukrainian talents
• workshops in creating a traditional Ukrainian motanka doll, beadwork, painting and others
• a flower market, a kids corner and a beauty corner
• Ukrainian food and drinks 
• good vibes by Ukrainian DJs and an opening party on Friday
• a stunning documentary movie 'Zhiva Vatra' ('The Living Fire') in cooperation with Ukrainian Signal on Saturday
   

WHY EXACTLY DO WE DO THIS? 

We want to raise donations to support people in Ukraine: 5 Euro entry fee as well as 20% of the proceeds will be provided to the following Ukrainian local organizations for humanitarian and medical aid: 

- RescueNOW: evacuation and humanitarian aid for eastern Ukraine.

- Sincere Heart: recovery camps to help children of war to restore their emotional and psychological well-being and accelerate their return to normal life.

- Proactive Generation: humanitarian and medical aid to a large number of internally displaced people, who are forced to flee and urgently leave their homes.

In case you feel like you'd like to support our initiative, we'd love to have you at our event and appreciate any help to raise awareness through your audience. Please check out our press release by the European Academy Berlin e.V., who is the official organizer of the event, as well as a few slides about us.

We really hope to hear from you soon!

Regards,

Khrystyna and Jazgul
