DJing as therapy: presentation in Kyiv

On May 11, the first public presentation of EnterDJ, an initiative that offers DJing as a tool for improving the psychological and physical condition of veterans, displaced persons, and all those who are interested, took place at the HVLV center (Podil, Kyiv). The event was attended by EnterDJ students — veterans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Ivanko and Roman Cherkas, who started DJing six months ago.

“When you play a set and hear applause, it’s really cool,” says Oleksandr.

“I don’t feel phantom pain while playing,” adds Roman.

This small-scale event already has major consequences: requests for collaboration, new partners, and inspiration to continue.
