Integration in a festive mood

As part of the "Integration Star for Children and Youth with Disabilities" we invited 60 children with a disability certificate along with their guardians for a special day full of joy, emotions, and Christmas magic.

The meeting began with an official welcome to guests by the Deputy Director of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Regional Branch of PCK, Krzysztof Rębacz, who emphasized the importance of celebrating together and integration in such a special group, along with the President of the Board of K-P OO PCK, Ms. Monika Przybylska.

From the very first moments, the event was led by a charismatic Elf, played by the President, supported by invaluable volunteers. They passionately conducted art contests, skill games, and activities, ensuring smiles, good energy, and a festive atmosphere throughout the day. Every participation in the contests was rewarded, bringing great joy and additional motivation to the children.

During this time, parents and guardians could find a moment just for themselves – to sit at the table, sip coffee, taste cake, and talk in a calm atmosphere. Knowing their children were cared for, they could take a moment to breathe and enjoy the time together.

There was also no shortage of dance emotions – thanks to the UNdO Dance School – Emilia Okońska the dance floor was never empty. Children and youth enthusiastically joined in the fun, and joy was visible on every face.

After intense fun, it was time for a moment of rest and "a little something" at the table – a delicious treat, both sweet and more substantial, invigorated everyone.

The climax of the event was the visit of the long-awaited Santa Claus. His arrival triggered huge emotions – children hugged, smiled from ear to ear, and joyfully sat on Santa's lap to take a commemorative photo. Each child received a gift in the form of sweets and a mug, which was a beautiful conclusion to this magical day.

All participants left the event delighted – with smiles, presents, and memories that will remain in their hearts for a long time. It was the true magic of Christmas, created through shared involvement, open hearts, and the desire to be together.

The event was co-financed by the PGE Foundation and PFRON – the State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled People.
