Experience the pre-Christmas season differently – slower, more fragrant, and in the company of people you enjoy being with. (C)onsiderate Christmas is emerging in Trenčín as a response to the desire to bring more kindness, togetherness, and natural beauty into December. Marianna, a photographer from V.okamihu, and Danka from the sustainable farm and flower studio Černuška will create a space where parents, children, and friends can experience the atmosphere of Christmas without the rush – with workshops, stories, films, and a live, ecological decoration.
Danka will take care of the decorations that enchant without leaving plastic waste behind. Marianna will prepare an online gallery of experience-based photographs you’ll be able to view at home – because the most beautiful photographs are created when you feel good with someone close.
The event also has a deeper dimension. During Advent we are reminded that many families around us need support. This year, we have decided to help one of them as a community – because being considerate matters even more during this time.
Programme:

We will begin with a short talk about who actually lives in our nearby greenery and why it is important to feed birds.

We will screen classic fairy-tales thematically linked to the workshop.
