Final event."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>On Friday and Saturday, 30\u201331 January, 2026, I took part on the cultural event, exhibition and final project presentation for the Creating Bridges EU-UA project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last two years of my life have been largely dedicated to an international EU-supported project Creating Bridges , where I took part as a trainer of calligraphy workshops for Ukrainian women who were forced to leave their homes because of the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the project connected three countries \u2014 Ukraine, Greece, and Belgium. All activities in Greece were organized by ANCE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over these two years, we held 11 calligraphy workshops with around 50 participants, many of whom have become not just students, but good friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being part of an international project like this is, of course, a great honor. But the greatest reward for me was the response from the participants \u2014 the realization that calligraphy, even for a short time, helped them disconnect, breathe, and forget about difficulties and worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m deeply happy to see how, year by year, I introduce more and more people to calligraphy \u2014 and they discover it as a completely new, previously unknown form of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This weekend in Athens, we held the final event of the project: an exhibition, workshops, presentations by organizers and trainers, and a jazz concert \u2014 a beautiful and emotional closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Special thanks to Mina Zografaki, the project manager from ANCE \u2014 it was an absolute pleasure to work with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"5713\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/calligraphy_exhibition_athens-769x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/calligraphy_exhibition_athens-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/calligraphy_exhibition_athens-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/calligraphy_exhibition_athens-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/calligraphy_exhibition_athens-45x60.jpg 45w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/calligraphy_exhibition_athens.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"5712\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/creating_bridges_greece-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/creating_bridges_greece-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/creating_bridges_greece-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/creating_bridges_greece-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/creating_bridges_greece-45x60.jpg 45w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/creating_bridges_greece.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" data-id=\"5714\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tetiana_hneniuk_calligraphy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tetiana_hneniuk_calligraphy.jpg 960w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tetiana_hneniuk_calligraphy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tetiana_hneniuk_calligraphy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tetiana_hneniuk_calligraphy-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/litera.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tetiana_hneniuk_calligraphy-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday and Saturday, 30\u201331 January, 2026, I took part on the cultural event, exhibition and final project presentation for the Creating Bridges EU-UA project.
