Madrid, December 12, 2022
The exhibition is made up of materials from the Pinocchio school in Borodyanka, a town bombed on March 1, 2022
The NGO Global Humanitaria, with the collaboration of the Madrid City Council, inaugurates “Piedra a Piedra” at the Casa de Vacas cultural center in El Retiro Park, a project that aims to raise awareness among citizens about how the war in Ukraine affects the the education of children who still remain in the country. The “Stone by Stone” exhibition is made up of materials from the Pinocchio school in Borodyanka, a town of about 13,000 inhabitants, located 50 kilometers from kyiv. This town was subjected to a bombardment on March 1, 2022, which destroyed large residential buildings and caused serious damage to the educational center. The exhibition recreates one of the center’s classrooms in real size, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in a scenario devastated by the conflict, among rubble and original school items collected by a team from Global Humanitaria during one of its humanitarian aid interventions in the country. The inaugural press conference, which will take place on December 13 at 11:30 in the Casa de Vacas, will be attended by Begoña Villacís, Vice Mayor of Madrid, Santiago Saura, Delegate of the Internationalization and Cooperation area of the Madrid City Council, a representative (to be confirmed) of the Ukrainian embassy in Spain and Andrés Torres, president of the NGO Global Humanitarian. The war in Ukraine has been the most serious humanitarian crisis in Europe since the end of the Second World War. The number of victims is estimated at more than 240,000. And more than 6 million people have had to flee their country. During the first nine months, since the attacks began, it is estimated that 2,719 educational centers have suffered material damage. And, among them, a total of 332 have been totally destroyed. On the other hand, it is estimated that 5.7 million boys and girls of school age have been affected since the start of the war, but the lengthening of the conflict seems to dilute the impact of its reality.Act: Inauguration of the exhibition ‘Piedra a Piedra’, by Global Humanitaria Date: December 13, 2022, 11:30 a.m. Place: Casa de Vacas Paseo Colombia, 1.
