Who are we?
We are the Sunflower Dreams Project. Our project is a series of exhibitions in the European Union, the United Kingdom and North America. It is created and supported exclusively by a team of multinational volunteers, all of whom have served in Ukraine, since the full-scale war started in 2022. We come from many places: we are Czech, German, Austrian, Italian, Ukrainian, English, Scot, Canadian, Spanish, American and more.
We are 100% volunteer run. We give freely of our tiome and travel expenses to host exhibitions of all sizes and lengths outsiude of Ukraine. We do not have support from any government, NGP/NPO or charity. We do this because we believe it is important.
We are proud to partner with Ukrainian artists Nataliia and Yustyna Pavliuk of Lviv, and to present a sample of the paintings of the Ukrainian children with whom they work in their art healing masterclasses, held 2-4 times weekly in Lviv. Visitors are surprised at the beauty, talent and resilience shown in the paintings - works filled with dreams, joy, and love for family and home.
Our mission
As long as this war continues, we find the artwork of Ukrainian children and bring it to the rest of the world to tell their stories. After all, each piece of art is a small piece of a child’s soul. We are determined to aid as many children as possible by lobbying for other countries to provide resources to support children's mental health in Ukraine .When we are not serving in Ukraine as civilian volunteers, this is what we do.
Our vision
The Olena Zelenskaya Foundation estimated that 44% of Ukrainian children suffer from PTSD, some studies say the number is much higher! Our vision is to use our platform, bringing the art of the Ukrainian children who are attending art healing projects, to create practical solutions for more and afforable access to child mental health care for Ukraine's traumatised Children of War
