12 июня 2018

The Red Noses International, a hospital clowning fund, has held a number of master classes in Belarus. The first educational platform in Belarus was Gomel. Belarusian medical professionals, volunteers and employees of the Belarusian Red Cross Society learnt how playing and drawing can help children get better quicker. Hospital clowns will also visit hospitals and rehabilitation centres.

Tanja Rainalter, a representative of the Red Noses International (Austria): "This organization works not only in Austria. We have hospital clowning organizations in 11 different countries. We were invited by the BRCS and we will spend three weeks in Belarus. We are looking forward to meeting with Belarusian children. We will visit a great number of hospitals here."

Maxim Novikov, a hospital clown and a representative of the Gomel Regional Organization of the Belarusian Red Cross Society: "We have been doing hospital clowning for 1.5 years now. We like to meet other hospital clowns and share our experience. It is always interesting to learn how others work and to show how we work."

Next, the master classes are scheduled to take place in Vitebsk and then Minsk.
