Building Bonds and Supporting Families: 'Family Living Room' Launches Heartfelt Social Initiative for SVO Families in ASU

The team of the university project "Adygea - Territory of Health," part of the development program "Priority 2030" (which has been incorporated into the national project "Youth and Children" since 2025), conducted the inaugural session of the new socially significant initiative "Family Living Room" for the families of SVO participants. 

Twelve families, raising over 20 children, attended the event. The project team facilitated an intellectual and creative family game for the participants. Following the activity, the guests shared their impressions and engaged in a heartfelt conversation over a cup of tea and sweets.

"I came today with my child, who is 13 years old. We truly enjoyed this event, which had the warm name 'Family Living Room.' It was a very educational experience. The children showed great interest and engagement. I would love to attend more events like this. All the organizers did a wonderful job," said meeting participant and SVO member Tatyana Skaliy.

The project partners include the Fatherland Defenders Foundation of the Republic of Adygea, the Committee of Families of Fatherland Soldiers of the Republic of Adygea, and the Youth of Adygea Center. 

As a reminder, the project's goal is the sociocultural adaptation of families of special military operation participants, providing comprehensive support to families with children to minimize negative social consequences and foster harmonious parent-child relationships. This is achieved by creating conditions for shared activities and restoring emotional intimacy through creativity and communication.

 In addition to faculty from the ASU Department of Social Work and Tourism, student volunteers from the Social Work and Tourism programs at ASU are actively involved in developing the event program. These volunteers represent the future talent pool for social workers in the Republic of Adygea.

Meetings are planned to be held monthly. Announcements of future meetings will be published on the project's Telegram channel and on the Adyghe State University website in the "Announcements" section.
