We’re so excited to share our first works! It was an incredible experience for each of us!

Since our school is online, each child worked independently, and each job was also a pleasant surprise for us! We also had an opportunity to learn a lot more about our children through their arts. Personally for me DearYou is much more than exchange project, it's about individuality, personality and feelings. We had a great chance to chat with our students about extremely important things for each child. Given the tense situation in the modern world, art helps us to relax and create new ideas.

It is so interesting to revise the work several times, to listen to the notes of a child's voice and intonation. Perhaps not everyone was able to create completely blindly. Some children decided to change or improve their works, but this experience opens up new challenges for us and brightens the way forward.

I also feel that now we’re much closer with our children. We’re looking forward to the works from our new friends!

Sincerly,
Ирина Мыкал and her students
