Feedback from the Webinar “A Toy for a Child” from the participants of Kalush, Grammar School
Adriana Abramovska,17
Proverb says: ”Better once to see than twice to hear”… I am glad that I was a participant of such webinar. Despite some technical problems, everything was great! I am Ukrainian but I also enriched my outlook about reeled- dolls and toys made of salty dough. It was interesting to make dog-toy and to paint hearts, smiles and our minds just with click of the mouse with other participators of this webinar. But it wasn’t just fun, it was cultural exchange and I am happy to join charity and to make some contribution to this world. It was worth spending about seventy minutes of my life! I would like to take part in such a webinar again!
1) Hello! My name is Uliana. I am very pleased to participate in a web conferences with Wels, Cyprus, Rivne, Lubny and Kalush. Although due to technical difficulties we were unable to show our presentation, we managed to be present at the last stage of the conference. The most interesting was that we produced toys with own hand and they’ll be given to children.
2) Hello! My name is Iryna Hrynenkiv.I am a pupil of the 11 forms. On Friday in Grammar School in Kalush held webinar. This was the first time in our school history.It was fantastic! it was a great opportunity to communicate with children from other countries. By the way, we made toys for children from the orphanage. It was great, because in every toy we put a piece of our heart. One that I did not like - a technical problem that arose suddenly, but still we had a good time.

T Svitlana Yakimchuk, CC project school coordinator wrote: “30 children from our school have been making toys! We enjoy it a lot working together!
According to our Action Plan the project “A Toy for a Child”, supporting the children who survived the earthquake in Turkey, primarily directed both to broaden the perspectives of the youth and to impress upon them the importance of civic engagement. This will be accomplished by means of educating them about different countries, cultures, world views, diversity, and social movements while also incorporating practical application of what they have learned in the form of inspiring them to organize and participate in volunteer projects. One of such mini-projects has been conducted by CC group of teachers and young Leaders.”

Webinar “A Toy for a Child”
CC Project group of Rivne school # 15 invited international cluster schools to participate in the online event ( Webinar) which took place on February 24, 2012 at 14.00 (Kiev time) in the Meeting Room of the Blackboard Collaborate. We tried the Power Point presentation, chat room, White Board for drawing and writing, the platform for talking. We looked through the pictures and listened to stories about national Ukrainian toys, had the floor to retell about children’s favourite toys in different countries, exchange impressions about the work in the project, participated in the contest for the best draft-drawing of a Toy one would love to make. Now we all know well enough how it works in case we venture to use the Blackboard Collaborate for our online lessons or other events.We are very thankful that Lviv, Starokonstyantyniv, Kalush, North Cyprus, Bekirpasa Lycee Ozge Ogmen have found time and possibility to participate in the Webinar. Eleven teachers and 72 students from cluster schools have already made the toys! It was really very much worth of trying this tool and coming together for this online event! As to the schools’ plans the toys will be given to a boarding school for children with dull hearing in (Kalush ), a toy exhibition will be arranged and some toys will be sent to our school partners in Cyprus ( Iryna Sukhodolska, Starokonstyantyniv), some of the toys will be sent to support the Turkish children, all the rest will be presented to the children of the auxiliary boarding school for children with disabilities (Lubny Specialist School # 6).

Webinar “A Toy for a Child”
Motanka- a Ukrainian Doll
The art of making toys is one of the most ancient kinds of folk arts and crafts. Let’s focus on the Ukrainian folk doll. Ukrainian doll was always considered the significant element of our traditional national culture. One of the first dolls was a motanka-doll, which was made of scraps of fabric, straw, threads, but without a needle. Their faces were not drawn or embroidered. Instead of it some crosses of ribbons or threads were made. Motanka became a symbol of the Rivne dance group participating in All-Ukrainian "Maidan Dance" . Here is the video - the students may like it. Some of our students were dancing in the group. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Deg815NEBU0
Therefore for a long historical period of time motanka wasn’t used as a toy. And it was often considered a sacred thing. The doll was perceived as a living being and a gift, that protected human’s life. Our great-grandparents produced them to ask and pray spirits for relatives’ health and nice crops. Dolls with the cross ribbon served as peculiar charms. That’s why our grandmothers believed in their protective power and put them into the new-borns’ cradles. In the case of child’s sickness they put the doll under the pillow or attached it to the sore spot on the body. Thus they guessed the doll assumed the child’s disease. Then they burnt or buried the doll to put an end to the disease.
Folk dolls are the symbols of family welfare. And they can bring hosts the happiness of paternity. The doll became the game value only when the society realized that children should be raised and nursed by means of surrounding things. So it became one of the first children’s toys. Besides so-called small doll, there was also a big doll before the beginning of 19 century. It was made by all villagers together and they burnt it on holidays. Therefore a small doll was not so well-known in certain historical period of time. And nowadays few people realize it is a real historical and cultural heritage.
We express special thanks to Iryna Zaitseva who made this Webinar possible having prepared detailed instructions to follow while making a toy. She also suggested us great pictures of her designer's dolls and toys.
Those groups and teachers who were at the Webinar have received the Certificates of Appreciation as a sign of our gratitude and to remember the day.
