MOBILE GROUPS
Artistic ensembles composed of civilian and military performers from various genres. These groups organize cultural and artistic events to enhance the moral and psychological well-being and motivation of soldiers.
Five mobile artistic groups from Cultural Forces work directly with the personnel in combat zones (Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson). Two mobile groups operate in locations where soldiers rest, train, receive medical treatment, and recover, such as hospitals, training centers, and rehabilitation facilities.
WORKING IN COMBAT ZONES
Each group's program is unique, but it must include a traditional Ukrainian musical instrument (bandura, kobza, or lira), a guitar (to create a friendly campfire atmosphere), and a puppet theater (bringing a sense of nostalgia and childhood).
Each group enhances its program with additional musical instruments, genres, and styles: violin, synthesizer, percussion, hip-hop, poetry, stand-up comedy, and more.
The event programs are flexible, tailored to the type of unit, the current moral and psychological state of its soldiers, and individual requests and recommendations from the unit's responsible officers.
We prioritize safety and do not gather soldiers in large groups in areas where there is a risk of attack. Instead, we go directly to their living or service locations. The average number of participants is 15-20 people.
