About project

The project WINDOWS INTO FAIRY TALES would like to extend the boundaries of children’s fantasy world in the Clinic of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology at the Department for small children in Bratislava. Our desire is to paint and warm up the cool sterile corridors with colours at the Department for small children.

The environment, where the small patients are and where they recover during treatment after intensive interventions and other therapies is very important. Therefore, the project WINDOWS INTO FAIRY TALES is primarily designated for the smallest. At the same time we want to cheer the soul of parents who spend all their time in the department alongside their children to support them with love and energy. Of course, we don’t forget that the entire department personnel, which is often exposed to difficult and mentally challenging job.

The project WINDOWS INTO FAIRY TALES also fulfils another important role and that is the ART THERAPY.
