We invite children to the creative workshop of the little master, at which we will make the Ukrainian motanka bird.
The motanka Bird is a traditional Ukrainian protective symbol, symbolizing goodness, peace, freedom, spring and the rebirth of life. The motank tradition is associated with folk beliefs and ritual culture of Ukraine. Ukrainian ancestors believed that motanka protects the home, brings good luck and keeps family warmth. In the past, they were hung on windows, above baby cradles or next to stoves as a symbol of protection.
At the workshop, everyone will create their own motanka bird. The peculiarity of the motanka is that it is not sewn, but motana – the fabric and threads are wrapped by hand. People believed that while creating a motanka, a person puts good thoughts and desires into it. For its manufacture, natural fabrics, ribbons, threads, dry herbs and decorative elements are used. The traditional colors-red, white, yellow and blue – symbolize protection, purity, sun and peace.
A workshop that is suitable for children from 5. years on, Inna Shvets from Zaporozhye will lead. She is a pedagogue by profession and has been living in Slovenia for three years. She is the founder of the Tigrica Igrica project, organizer of children's events and author of magical fairy tales. In its workshops, it connects Ukrainian Cultural Heritage, creativity and pleasant atmosphere and helps to get to know Ukrainian culture through handicrafts and folk art.

Otroke vabimo na ustvarjalno delavnico Malega mojstra, na kateri bomo izdelovali ukrajinskega ptička motanko.
Ptiček motanka je tradicionalni ukrajinski zaščitni simbol, ki simbolizira dobroto, mir, svobodo, pomlad in ponovno rojstvo življenja. Tradicija motank je povezana z ljudskimi verovanji in obredno kulturo Ukrajine. Ukrajinski predniki so verjeli, da motanka varuje dom, prinaša srečo in ohranja družinsko toplino. V preteklosti so jih obešali na okna, nad otroške zibke ali zraven peči kot simbol zaščite.
Na delavnici bo vsak ustvaril svojega ptička motanko. Posebnost motanke je, da ni šivana, ampak motana – blago in niti se ročno ovijajo. Ljudje so verjeli, da človek med ustvarjanjem motanke vanjo vloži dobre misli in želje. Za izdelavo se uporabljajo naravne tkanine, trakovi, niti, suha zelišča in dekorativni elementi. Tradicionalne barve – rdeča, bela, rumena in modra – simbolizirajo zaščito, čistost, sonce in mir.
Delavnico, ki je primerna za otroke od 5. leta dalje, bo vodila Inna Švec iz Zaporožja. Po poklicu je pedagoginja in že tri leta živi v Sloveniji. Je ustanoviteljica projekta Tigrica Igrica, organizatorka otroških dogodkov in avtorica čarobnih pravljic. Na svojih delavnicah povezuje ukrajinsko kulturno dediščino, ustvarjalnost in prijetno vzdušje ter pomaga spoznavati ukrajinsko kulturo skozi ročna dela in ljudsko umetnost.
