Ukraine    Alt-13     Pereyaslav-Khmelnytskyy II (Kyiv Region)    15.08.-29.08.2010    RENO/REST/MANU   16vols
Project partner: Pereyaslav-Khmelnytskyy Social Services Centre for Youth.
The camp will take place in the suburban part of Pereyaslav-Khmelnytskyy. This town has rich history and a lot of places to see. It is situated on the banks of one of the most beautiful rivers in Ukraine - the Dnieper, 100 km to the south-east of Kyiv – the capital of Ukraine. Pereyaslav-Khmelnystskyy is one of the most important places in Ukrainian history. Pereyaslav-Khmelnytskyy has existed since the 10th century. It was a border stronghold of the Kievan Rus state but was overrun by Tatars in 1239. The town began to recover in the 16th century and emerged as a site of Ukrainian Cossack culture. In 1654, Bohdan Khmelnytskyy and his Cossacks met at Pereyaslav to agree that Ukraine, for protection against Poland, becomes a protectorate of Russia – breakdown in the Ukrainian history. There are 17 museums and 7 magnificent parks in the city, so volunteers will enjoy this place. Well-known in Ukraine - Open-air Museum of Folk Architecture is situated in Pereyaslav. Here you can see, among other things, authentic peasant huts of the times of old, smithies and several windmills of the eighteenth century. In fact, a village of the 17th–19th centuries is recreated, complete with gardens and flowers around the houses with whitewashed walls and thatch roofs. In the houses you find icons and decorative towels — exactly the way it looked in the times of old. On the territory of the open-air museum, you can find other museums, one of which exhibits stone idols of the Scythian times of centuries before Christ.
WORK: Open-air Museum of Folk Architecture is integral part of national Ukrainian heritage and is protected by special law. We continue the 14 year project, repairing the historical objects and cultural monuments, participating in the work on the territory of the historic and cultural recreation area in Pereyaslav-Khmelnytskyy.
