April is Autism Awareness Month. Our hotel became a place for activities and games for children from preschools with integration classes. During the event "April Autism Awareness Month – Arche Hotel Krakowska for Children" held on April 25, children from two different preschools had the chance to meet finalists of the Miss Polonia 2023 Contest and enjoy many attractions prepared for them, including a "blue fashion show."
Knowledge about autism and raising social awareness
April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day, established in 2008. Its main goal is to promote knowledge about autism and raise social sensitivity on this topic. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, is characterized by difficulties in forming relationships with others. The various attractions and activities planned at Arche Hotel Krakowska encouraged integration with children requiring special educational care, all to show that people with autism are full members of society and deserve joy and fulfillment.
Mini fashion show
The meeting with the children began with a joyful greeting – they could choose from several welcome options, but hugs were the most popular. The animators were Miss Polonia 2023 finalists who immediately invited the children to join the fun. In the play area, we offered stations for painting colorful pictures and decorating with stickers, while the Miss Polonia finalists painted faces. Balloons from Literkowo in Łomża and puzzles sponsored by Trefl were very popular. Meanwhile, our young guests had a chance to tour the hotel and peek into several of its corners. The highlight of this private event was a mini fashion show, where children and models walked the red carpet and felt like real stars. Our guests posed for photos under flashing lights, where beauty had no definition.
Mascot "Grandpa Vlad"
Preschoolers didn’t leave our hotel empty-handed. From now on, the preschool groups will be accompanied by "Grandpa Vlad" – a mascot resembling Władysław Grochowski, President of the Arche Group. The soft plush toy was immediately loved by the little ones. Anyone who hasn't met or seen our mascot yet must catch up!
