“Talk to Me” is a multimedia exhibition of the Kateryna Osadcha Foundation, created to draw attention to the topic of adoption and the importance of the family for each child.

The project is implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, UNICEF, the Coordination Center for the Development of Family Education and Child Care, the Elena Zelenska Foundation and with the support of the European Union.

‍

The exhibition was presented for the first time in Kyiv in the Gulliver shopping center and became a public space where the experience of life without family care is revealed through the personal stories of children and adults. The exposition consists of 10 photo portraits and video stories that allow visitors to hear the voices of the heroes and better understand their emotions, needs and dreams of family.

A special feature of the exhibition is the interactive format: visitors can interact with stories through QR codes, gaining access to extended materials and personal stories of the heroes.

The project aims not only to inform, but also to form a public dialogue on adoption and family forms of education, to reduce the stigma around children left without parental care, and to promote the idea of the family as the basic right of every child.

After the premiere in Kyiv, the exhibition was presented in other cities of Ukraine, expanding the audience and the impact of the project.

“Talk to Me” is about a space where instead of silence there is dialogue, and instead of distance, understanding and support.
