The Vice-Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine stated that the work over a new CD "An Artistic ABC Book for Small Ukrainians" had entered its final stage. The CD will be distributed among the pre-school education establishments. As there are more than 15 thousand pre-school establishments in Ukraine, at least 15 thousand CDs will be produced.
"A new joint project of "Spravedlyva Kraina" Fund and the National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council is intended for the best and the least protected group of the population: younger children and preschoolers. Under the present-day information conditions, this group of Ukrainians is mostly discriminated, as artistic works for children are broadcast only by the State broadcasting companies", - stated the project initiator.
Due to the great amount of audio materials, the audio-edition will have two parts: the first part includes Ukrainian folktales, fairy tales of foreign countries and author´s fairy tales performed by the popular artists of Ukraine; and the second part including nursery rhymes, spring songs, games, counting-out rhymes, Christmas carols and lullabies.
M.Tomenko promised that a new CD will be presented in the pre-school establishments on the eve of Christmas holidays.
