7 Days Without War

12. June 2025

Young people from the Ukrainian war zone Nikopol experience carefree days in Central Hessen

After the successful project #7tageOhneKrieg im letzten Jahr, we continued our commitment in 2025: At the beginning of June 2025, we welcomed 9 young people together with their teachers from the region severely affected by the war #Nikopol and brought them to central Hessen.

The aim of the project is to give the young people a break from everyday life in a war zone. In a safe and supportive environment, they can expect a varied program with sports, games, creative workshops, and group excursions. The focus is not only on relaxation and fun, but also on intercultural exchange and the development of new friendships.

We would like to thank you very much for the broad support from the region and especially for the great cooperation with BB Hotel Giessen as well as Gasthaus Justus.

A newspaper article about our project article in the local press appeared in GIessener Anzeiger.

In addition, “Udo” accompanied part of our project and recorded his impressions in a diary:
