WE RESTART

Museums are places of inspiration, learning and fun. On Sunday 25^th of September, we have organised a day at Wonder Lab / Science Museum in London. 

Here is a testimonial from the volunteers:

"British-Ukrainian Aid's volunteers have spent an amazing morning with the displaced Ukrainian children and their mums at the Wonder Lab in the Science Museum on Sunday. It was full of fun activities and exciting discoveries 🚀🚀🚀 We are very grateful to Claire Hazel and Jin Nirwal from the Science Museum for their warm welcome and to Cristina Cellini Antonini and Chiara Canal from WE RESTART for kindly organising this unforgettable experience for the Ukrainian families. It's truly 'The Best Thing You Can Do in London with Kids' !!!"

WE RESTART believes that ART is a guide to EXTENSION OF EXPERIENCE: The most difficult task we are asked to fulfil when we are young is growing. "Growth occurs when we discover how to remain authentically ourselves in the presence of potentially threatening things. Maturity is the possession of coping skills: we can take in our strides things that previously would have knocked us off course. We are less fragile, less easily shocked and hence more capable of engaging with situations as they really are". The world of art can provoke, tease and push us to awake the important parts of ourselves. "Art is an immensely sophisticated accumulation of experiences of others, presented to us in well-shaped and well-organized forms. It can provide us with some of the most eloquent instances of the voices of other cultures, so that an engagement with artworks stretches our notions of ourselves and our world. At first, much of art seems merely 'other', but we discover that it can contain ideas and attitudes that we can make our own in ways that enrich us".
