Katharina and Tetiana, leaders from PLAST, organise a workshop on traditional Ukrainian egg painting for Ukrainian children in Hanover.
The children learned the traditional wax-resist technique known as Pysanka, where symbolic patterns like suns, flowers, and waves are drawn with beeswax and layered with vivid dyes, a method recently recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. The aim of the workshop is preserving Ukrainian traditions abroad, but also spending time together in a familiar environment, because shared cultural practices can provide stability, emotional support, and a sense of belonging for people who have been displaced by war.
