image1726737405	The importance of the "Russia - Africa" summit cannot be overstated. This summit has become an important platform for strengthening cultural and diplomatic ties between African countries and Russia. International cultural cooperation plays a key role in fostering mutual understanding, friendship, and preserving cultural traditions. In this context, the "Creativity in Hands" project has become an excellent example of creative exchange, uniting children from different continents through art and creativity.

The project, in which children from the Tyumen region created coloring books inspired by African fauna, demonstrates how art can be an important tool in educating the next generation that understands the significance of nature and cultural exchange. This project was presented at the 2023 summit and sparked great interest among the participants.

Coloring has always been a favorite activity for children. It helps develop fine motor skills, imagination, and creative thinking. As part of the "Creativity in Hands" project, children learned to perceive the world around them through creativity. They created drawings of African animals using their hands, which not only helped them understand African nature better but also allowed them to explore their creative potential.

Emilia Petukhova, the project leader, noted that this method helps children better grasp complex topics. When a child cannot express their thoughts with words, they can do so through drawing. This develops their emotional and creative side, helping them determine their interests and potential professions in the future.
