Flowers of Gratitude
Project goal:
The "Flowers of Gratitude" project aims to create a series of murals in various countries that have welcomed and supported Ukrainian refugees during the war. The main goal of the project is to express the gratitude of Ukrainians for the hospitality and assistance they received after being forced to leave their homes due to the tragic events in Ukraine.
Concept of the Murals:
Each mural within the project combines the symbols of Ukraine and the host country, representing unity, mutual support, and solidarity between nations, emphasizing the importance of cooperation and mutual aid. The art will serve as a reminder of human kindness, which helps to overcome even the most difficult challenges.

Symbolism:
The murals will feature images of flowers and birds, symbolizing nature, beauty, and strength. Flowers, as symbols of renewal, growth, and new beginnings, will be depicted as the national flowers of both Ukraine and the host country. Birds, representing freedom, hope, and the aspiration for a better future, will also be part of the design. Each mural will be unique, reflecting the culture and natural characteristics of both countries, but all will be united by a common theme—gratitude for humanity.
Implementation:
The project will be realized in the cities of countries that have provided shelter to Ukrainian refugees, including Germany, Sweden, Latvia, Romania, Moldova, France, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Slovakia, Canada, Bulgaria, Portugal, Denmark, the Netherlands, Estonia, Norway, the United Kingdom, the USA, Poland, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Austria, and others. Each mural will be placed on a publicly accessible wall in a location visible to both local residents and Ukrainians living there.
Social Aspect:
"Flowers of Gratitude" will promote intercultural dialogue, the popularization of Ukrainian culture, and the strengthening of ties between Ukrainians and local communities. The project will also serve as an expression of deep respect and appreciation to the countries and people who opened their doors and hearts to Ukrainians during difficult times.
Future Plans:
The project aims not only to express gratitude but also to inspire further collaboration and support between nations. "Flowers of Gratitude" will become a symbol of global unity and humanity that knows no borders.
The Beginning of the Journey: Denmark as the First Project Partner
The first step of the "Flowers of Gratitude" project takes place in Denmark, a country that has become a refuge for thousands of Ukrainians during the war. The mural in Haderslev will be a symbol of the Ukrainian people's gratitude for the support and hospitality they received from Danish society and the Haderslev municipality.
This initial mural will combine the national symbols of the two countries: the Danish dogwood and the sunflower, symbolizing Ukraine. These flowers intertwine in a unified pattern, representing the unity, mutual support, and friendship between our nations.
We believe this mural will not only beautify the city but also serve as a vivid symbol of the solidarity we have felt during difficult times. Denmark opened its doors to many Ukrainian families, and this project is our way of expressing gratitude through art.
The mural in Haderslev is just the beginning. We aim to extend this initiative to other countries that have welcomed Ukrainian refugees, creating a network of murals that tell a story of unity and mutual understanding among nations.
