There is evidence that thousands of disabled Ukrainian children have been forgotten and abandoned in institutions that can’t look after them.

The human rights organisation, Disability Rights International, has carried out an investigation and found children with severe disabilities tied to beds in overrun children’s homes unable to cope.

The BBC has been given exclusive access to an institution in western Ukraine, where disabled children from the east have been left by their carers who fled to neighbouring countries.

Bucharest Housing Stories, the web documentary: a seven-part miniseries about housing experience in contemporary Bucharest

http://bucharesthousingstories.ro

Bucharest Housing Stories is a documentary series about diversity of the housing experience in Bucharest and the neighboring surroundings. The project is composed of seven episodes focused on different dwelling spaces and housing forms – blocks from the Communist period, new residential areas, ghetto neighborhoods, dormitories, public spaces (homeless living), former nationalized houses and homes from suburban areas – and follows the diverse experiences of 21 characters. The project aims to document the cultural diversity of housing and living practices in the Romanian present day urban area. Each episode released on the bucharesthousingstories.ro platform focuses on the diversity of vicinity experiences, on routine and on the relationships developed with the dwelling space by people with different profiles.

The project “Lived-In Homes. Cultural diversity of dwelling in Bucharest and the neighboring surroundings” is developed by VIRA Association and highlights the organization’s main instruments and objectives for a number of areas of interest: social research, documentary film and cultural education. Through this project we aim to contribute to an awareness of the variety of forms and housing experiences in Bucharest and neighboring surroundings as expressions of cultural diversity.

The project is funded through a Grant offered by Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and The Romanian Government, part of the PA17/RO 13 “Promotion of Diversity in Culture and Arts within European Cultural Heritage” Program and is carried out in partnership with The Movement for European Action and Initiative Association and The National Museum of Romanian Peasant.
