Friends, we are happy to announce the launch of a new project called INTERWORLD, created by the talented artist, writer, and actor Maxim Brovchenko, a young man with autism from the temporarily occupied city of Berdyansk — our CosmoMax.
In a series of short video stories on his Facebook blog, Maksym introduces viewers to the lives of neurodivergent individuals — people whose activities have changed and continue to change the world, science, and technology of our civilization.
According to Maxim, INTERWORLD will help us look at familiar things from a new angle — through the eyes of neurodiverse people who, thanks to their unique characteristics, are changing the course of history without even realizing it. The project is not only educational but also charitable, raising funds for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Let us remind you: Maxim is a teenager with autism whose talents and strength of spirit have been supported by the NGO “Child with a Future” for many years. Maxim’s greatest dream is victory, and his greatest desire is to return home to sunny Berdyansk. From the first day of the full-scale invasion, Maxim has been actively involved in volunteer work: he donates all proceeds from the sale of his paintings to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to support Ukrainian children with autism. For this dedication, he was recognized by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
Maxim himself says:
With the INTERSVIT project, I want to bring together the neurodivergent world and the neurotypical world, to gain understanding and acceptance. In addition, I want to attract the attention of as many people as possible to help our army fight the enemy. I believe in our victory and want to bring it closer. I hope that many viewers of my blog will donate funds using the details I leave under each video. Glory to Ukraine!
We admire Maxim’s creative activity and sincerely rejoice in his victories, believing in our common success. So, thank you all in advance for your donations and support!
The first episode of “INTERSVIT” is dedicated to Albert Einstein — a brilliant theoretical physicist and author of the theory of relativity. The video is now available for viewing at the link!
Maksym dedicated the second episode to the history and scientific contributions of Maria Skłodowska-Curie. Watch the story of this great female physicist, be inspired by science, and support our defenders at the link.
