Children's hospitals celebrated the First Bell with the support of 1+1 Media.

On the occasion of the start of the new school year, 1+1 Media, together with caring partners, held symbolic concerts for children undergoing inpatient treatment and studying at hospitals - at the "Superheroes School." Themed events were held in several branches of the school, which operate under the patronage of the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska. In particular, concerts were held simultaneously in three hospitals in Lviv, Boyarka, and Kharkiv.

"For the third year in a row, the war has been spoiling the First Bell holiday for Ukrainian children. For the third year in a row, our kids will be hiding in bomb shelters for a year. This is hard for children, teachers, parents, and society. That's why our team, 1+1 Media and the Superheroes School, decided to create a special atmosphere for the kids whose holiday is marred by war and illness. We decided to organize a festive day for patients of children's hospitals where there are branches of the Superheroes School," said Natalia Moseychuk, 1+1 Marathon anchor and interviewer.

At the beginning of the event, the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, addressed the children in a thematic video. This year, six new educational centers will appear on the school map with funding from the Foundation of the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska. Three of these centers started operating at the beginning of the school year in Vinnytsia, Rivne, and Kryvyi Rih. The other three (in Poltava, Odesa, and Lviv) are already being renovated.

Natalia Moseychuk, chairman of the Superheroes School's board of trustees, also joined the greetings.

On this day, Ukrainian artists visited the Superheroes School, which talked to the children, sang their favorite songs with them, and gave them incredible emotions. Thus, Ivan NAVI, Natalka Karpa, Iryna Fedyshyn, and Oleh Chyher visited three branches of the Superheroes School in Lviv. The concerts were hosted by 1+1 Marathon and TSN anchor Solomiya Vitvitska. ENLEO visited the children in Boyarka, and Cultural Desant greeted the kids in Kharkiv.

"Last year, more than 15 thousand young patients of hospitals across Ukraine became students of the Superheroes School. This year, we have six new centers. We are pleased to start a new school year with the opportunity to give knowledge to even more children. We are grateful to everyone who joined the celebration of September 1 today," said Natalia Zhylinska, director of the Superheroes School.

Furthermore, the little superheroes received symbolic gifts from the partners: books from the Ranok publishing house, Chromebooks from Liberty Ukraine, microscopes, and kits for conducting experiments and studying biology and anatomy from the international digital production company AMO Pictures.

"It is important for us not only to support talents but also to create opportunities for children to learn and explore the world despite the circumstances. On the eve of the Knowledge Day, it is precious to join the initiative and congratulate the students of the Superheroes School. We are happy to help make the dreams of little superheroes come true and inspire them to new achievements," said Anatoliy Dudinsky, CEO of AMO Pictures.
