TV channel 1+1 Ukraine presented ethereal graphics inspired by drawings of children of heroes

Every year, in early summer, 1+1 media together with the charity fund "Children of Heroes" collect children's drawings, which become the basis of the ethnic graphics of 1+1 Ukraine TV channel. All in order to attract attention and once again remind how the life of young Ukrainians has irrevocably changed.

"As part of "Make a Dream Come True" project, we continue to cover the stories of children whose lives were radically changed by a full-scale invasion. It is extremely important for us that the stories of children, closely intertwined with the war, are heard," commented 1+1 media.

The authors of the drawings were children who lost one or both parents as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian war. In their own work, they talk about life under sirens. In particular, some of them once again remind how much their childhood has changed. One of the creators was 10-year-old Anna, who lives in the front-line city of Zaporizhzhya region. After losing her father, the girl immersed herself in art.

"The sun is a symbol of life in which there is no fear and despair. This is a life where every child has a strong family, a cozy home and a peaceful homeland, " said Anna's mother.

A cat appeared on the graph — Morty, who is now a symbol and a mention for 7-year-old Dmitry about his father: "Our friend, cat Morty was a favorite of her husband, but now his son is responsible for him and loves him with all his heart."

"Children who have lost a father or mother deserve love, support and the opportunity to live without fear. As part of our psychological support, we often see how through drawings they express their pain, experienced and deep emotions. This is a difficult but necessary stage on the way to internal balance. And, frankly, I really want these children to again draw bright patterns, the sun and fairy-tale heroes, and not sadness and tears, "said Tatyana Novitskaya, CEO of the CF “Children of Heroes”.

"Make a Dream Come True" is a large-scale social initiative 1+1 media, which restores faith in miracles and helps children who have lost their parents due to a full-scale war to feel warmth, support and inspiration again. In particular, in 2024, 1+1 media, together with the ambassadors and the project team, have already fulfilled more than 50 dreams — from meetings with idols to surprises that light their eyes with happiness.
