PRESS RELEASE
We are reaching out to introduce the “ДЕ ТИ : Where Are You?” project, an initiative by Ukrainians in Canada and the U.S. dedicated to the bombing of the Mariupol Drama Theater on March 16, 2022.
The flash mob aims to:
- Demand the return of Ukrainian children taken by Russia.
- Raise awareness of Russia’s war crimes,
- Show global solidarity with children affected by war.
From March 1 to March 16, 2025, we are organizing a global flash mob to honour the victims and raise awareness. Participants are invited to recreate the word “ДЕТИ” (Children) in any visual form, capture it, and share it on social media with the hashtags: #DETYWhereAreYou #DETYproject #StandWithUkraine

What to do:
Step 1: Form a Group
Gather friends, family, or colleagues. Participation open to schools, organizations, and communities.
Step 2: Create the Message
Choose a meaningful location to create ‘ДЕТИ’ (KIDS) or ‘ДЕ ТИ?’ (Where Are You?) sign.
Step 3: Capture the Moment
Photograph or record your formation clearly. You can use chalk, lights, or creative methods to display the words.
Step 4: Share Your Message
Post with hashtags: #DETYWhereAreYou #DETYproject #StandWithUkraine
Step 5: Submit Your Work
Email your photos/videos to [email protected] or upload to detyproject.org/upload
We kindly ask for your support by:
- Sharing the flash mob information with your network and/or publishing about it in your media.
