On the eve of the youngest state holiday of our country - the Day of National Unity - in Grodno, the exhibition "Melody of the Flax stalk" was held. From seed to tow.” The exposition is organized within the framework of the large-scale charitable project of the Belarusian Women’s Union “Her Hands Deed”, designed to reveal the creative potential of modern Belarusian women.

Irina Lukanskaya, Chairman of the Board of Grodno City Organization "Grodnenchanka" NGO "BSJ" stressed that it is important to preserve Belarusian traditions:

Linen is our wealth, brand, national symbol along with cornflower. He also characterizes our Motherland as a clean, blue-eyed, beautiful and peaceful country. Today, each woman-participant shared the warmth of her hands, presented creative works that resonated with the audience. It is noteworthy that despite the work schedule, taking care of their family, our women find time for needlework. Part of the works are bought up by the residents of Grodno, and the received funds are sent to the Social and Pedagogical Center of the October district of Grodno.

The exhibition was attended by 11 women, including both experienced craftsmen and those who discovered creativity recently.
