November Adventures of the Young Explorers
Nov 28, 2025
November holidays for the employees' children of CMK turned into a real adventure, filled with creativity and vivid events. Thanks to the initiative of the Company's Primary Trade Union Organization, a unique multi-day program "City Discoverers. Art Immersion" was organized for the children at "Nika" art gallery in Stupino.
Thirteen young explorers aged 7 to 14 got to know the city—visiting both the Stupino Museum of History and Local Lore and walking the streets of the town center. They dove headfirst into the world of art and made sure to squeeze in some sports and games, too.
The program at the Stupino Art Gallery gave the schoolchildren a chance to enter a world of beauty. The children enthusiastically immersed themselves in the virtual reality of the exhibition "VR Immersion into Kolomna" from the Kolomna Picture Gallery "Ozerov House", where old streets and monuments came to life. The exhibition by the Creative Union of Artists "Muscovites" titled "I am tenderly ill with a memory of childhood...", dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the great Russian poet Sergei Yesenin, made a special impression. Also receiving attention was the permanent exhibition "Pearls of the Stupino Gallery," which the children explored by completing an exciting quest called "Hunters for Masterpieces": they eagerly searched for answers to questions within the gallery hall.
In addition, the children took part in interactive programs: they created watercolor postcards called 'Favorite Pets', painted plaster figures, made gifts for their mothers for Mother's Day, and played board games. Each day brought new discoveries and joyful moments.
Under the guidance of an experienced mentor, Alyona Agafonova, a teacher at the 'Magic School of Colors' studio, they learned how to draw, create collages, come up with bright images, and bring their fantasies to life on paper.
Apart from creative pursuits, the kids got to know their hometown better. They excitedly joined in thrilling city quests, expanding their knowledge and discovering loads about the history and culture of their home region through educational tours. Plus, there were movies, laser tag, and they even scaled a climbing wall, which was unforgettable and gave them a real energy boost.
The days spent with experienced masters of their craft turned out to be not only interesting, but also incredibly useful. The children enthusiastically shared their impressions with their parents, talking about their new knowledge and vivid emotions.
