Exploration of a unique world inhabited by exceptional individuals, showcased through the initiative "Holding the Heart" virtual tour.

The "Embrace with Heart" project, a winner of the "30 Good Deeds of AEB" grant competition in the fall of 2023, has launched an innovative extracurricular activity in schools. This inclusive project aims to help schoolchildren understand the difficulties and obstacles faced by people with special needs.

The project features a three-part video lesson, financially supported by a bank, which provides accessible and engaging education about the uniqueness and respect for all people. The first part focuses on famous people with disabilities who have made significant contributions. An example given is the cricket, an insect whose hearing organs are located in its legs.

The second part of the event is interactive, involving tasks such as guessing gestures or watching a movie with closed eyes or opaque glasses. The third part features animated content about animals with peculiarities in their hearing and vision.

The guides for the virtual tour are volunteers from the "Embrace with Heart" project, including Rustam Shestakov, a 2nd group invalid due to general illness, Elena Skryabina, a 3rd group invalid due to hearing impairment, and Valentin Suzdalov, a 2nd group invalid due to visual impairment.

The video lesson is accompanied by the music of Atamay Wybana and ends with the song "When Still?" performed by Andrei Chupikov and Orkon. The project encourages individuals to host lessons in their schools and can be reached via email at [email protected] or their Telegram channel, available at t.me/obnimayaserdtsem.

The project's tagline is "Embrace with Heart", reflecting its aim for spiritual transformation of society, aiming for every individual, regardless of their peculiarities, to feel accepted and respected. The event's closing message is a reminder to "Don't risk your life, take care of yourself and others!".

The "Embrace with Heart" project is more than just an educational initiative; it's a call to action for a more inclusive and accepting society. By participating in this project, schoolchildren are not only learning about the unique challenges faced by people with special needs but also embracing the importance of empathy and respect for all individuals.
