On July 11, 2025, in the city of Woudenberg (Utrecht Province, the Netherlands), Honorary Member of the Institute for the Development of Practical Psychology and Head of the Department of Body-Oriented Practices, Yoga Concentration, and Psychophysical Rehabilitation, Volodymyr Mashyr, participated in a gathering of the Ukrainian community.
At Volodymyr’s initiative, a special artwork was created – a collaborative art project involving children from Ukrainian families. Under his attentive guidance, a blue-and-yellow canvas emerged, featuring children’s handprints and a heart at its center – a living symbol of gratitude, love, and unity.
Volodymyr solemnly presented this painting to the Mayor of Woudenberg, Ms. Magda Jansen-Van Harten, as a gesture of solidarity between the Ukrainian community and local residents.
The event brought together dozens of Ukrainian families, creating a space for warm encounters, dialogue, and creative integration.
The Institute for the Development of Practical Psychology is proud that representatives of our organization initiate such intercultural actions that carry light, meaning, and gratitude far beyond the borders of Ukraine.
