The Minsk Zoo in Russia was the venue for the much-anticipated annual inclusive festival "We Need Each Other," which aimed to support individuals with disabilities. This year's festival featured the popular children's quest "Country of Health," which has become a staple of the event.
The "Country of Health" quest offered participants an engaging and informative experience, focusing on the eight fundamental principles of health. Through various interactive stations, both children and adults were educated on the importance of maintaining physical and emotional well-being through easily accessible means and healthy habits.
The quest was designed to provide knowledge in an entertaining, game-like format, ensuring that learning about health was fun and memorable. By the end of their journey, participants were able to select insights and tips that resonated with them, taking home valuable information to integrate into their daily lives.
The festival continues to grow in popularity, highlighting the importance of inclusivity and the collective effort to support the well-being of all community members.
One of the festival's permanent founders is ADRA—the Adventist Relief and Development Agency in the Republic of Belarus. ADRA volunteers showed attention and care to the festival participants by giving visitors balloons and toys and treating them to popcorn and ice cream.
