How the Meeting Unfolded
Some of the children prepared clay crafts, while others created colored pencil drawings. Judging by the sheer volume of these works, one could safely conclude that this meeting was incredibly important to everyone. The students had prepared exceptionally well and truly won the writer's heart.
And many more.
The children actively discussed the author's works; some of the students even quoted passages from the stories they had read from memory, having prepared them independently for this very meeting!
«My works have been traveling across Russia since 2021. They have visited St. Petersburg, Crimea, the Stavropol and Krasnodar regions, Grozny, Kazan, the Urals, and other corners of the country. And all the feedback points to the fact that these fairy tales are highly therapeutic, having a magical impact on both children and adults. Fairy tale therapy helps explain complex things in simple language. With the help of a fairy tale, one can teach qualities such as selflessness, compassion, kindness, love, friendship, and care. This facilitates the understanding of the world around them; children learn to distinguish between good and evil, and fairy tales help foster empathy and build relationships between people. And this school has educational psychologists and fairy tale therapists who can work professionally with children, helping them work through all negative emotions, fears, anxieties, and conflicts. It is a great rarity for such specialists to work in schools!» said Anna Kolesnikova after the meeting, while speaking with the teaching staff and the students' parents.
