These meanings are exported through strategic projects and cultural products (such as artistic images and works of art) that represent the state in the minds of foreigners. For example, SpaceX, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Marvel Universe demonstrate the meaning of the &#8220;American dream,&#8221; when everyone can achieve whatever they want, even if it&#8217;s a flight to distant galaxies.<\/p>\n<p>By creating meanings, each country seeks to show that it is unique and special. Due to the meanings, subnational entities become powerful brands over the years. And it is meanings that help to wage modern wars \u2015 not for the territories, but for the minds of the people inhabiting them.<\/p>\n<p>We want Ukraine to be perceived as a strong state with a rich history, bright culture and deep meanings that have passed through the millennia and formed an amazing and multifaceted country at the intersection of European and Asian ways and cultures. Therefore, we launched Magic World.UA project, the purpose of which is to reproduce, visualize and digitalize Ukrainian mythology and include it in the national and global cultural context. After all, Ukrainian mythology is one of the richest in the world: according to the scientist Serhii Plachynda, ancient Ukrainian mythology was the basis for the mythology of all Indo-European peoples.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><div class=\"tab-content\"><div class=\"pt-special-heading pt-special-heading-6a6103ac6d15b  tal\"><h3 class=\"heading\"><i>Is to use the potential of Ukrainian mythology<br \/>\nfor the development of cultural products,<br \/>\nstrengthening of Ukraine's brand<br \/>\nand its promotion in the world.<\/i><\/h3><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To make mythology interesting and clear to new generations by using the creative work of talented writers, illustrators, 3D designers and animators, as well as innovation and digital technology.<\/li>\n<li>To save Ukrainian mythology for future generations and include Ukrainian mythical characters, symbols and plots in the national and international cultural context.<\/li>\n<li>To promote the ideological unification of society, acting as a reminder of the common ancient roots for adults and creating a single paradigm of worldview through the prism of empathy and imitation of mythical heroes common to different parts of the country for children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><div class=\"tab-content\"><div class=\"pt-special-heading pt-special-heading-6a6103ac6d198  tal\"><h3 class=\"heading\"><i>For the first time in the history of Ukraine,<br \/>\nwe carry out a comprehensive visualization<br \/>\nand digitalization of the heroes<br \/>\nof Ukrainian mythology.<\/i><\/h3><\/div>[vc_column_text]Magic World.UA is a unique project, because we will &#8220;make alive&#8221; Ukrainian mythical characters that previously lived only in the collective consciousness or in the pages of old books.

While selecting, we applied a number of criteria, including scientific certainty, suitability for demonstration to children, ability to be included in the modern cultural context and &#8220;competitive capacity&#8221; compared to foreign mythical and book characters that are popular among children.<\/p>\n<p>We also balanced the characters in different spheres of mythology, gender, age, and regions and structured them according to archetypes (according to Carl Jung and Carol Pearson). We also applied the Hero&#8217;s Journey scheme (by Joseph Campbell) to form a comprehensive world and an interesting story for the audience of the project.<\/p>\n<p>Our creative team of illustrators and copywriters carried out a thorough work with each character. They studied ethnographic sources and creatively adapted and developed them.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we have created Magic World where 20 mythical characters play their unique roles and tell their educative stories for the users to discover Ukrainian mythology.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        [\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1543230545657{padding-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1349&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1708549402631{padding-top: 45px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"pt-special-heading pt-special-heading-6a6103ac6d205  wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_fadeInLeft fadeInLeft tac  vc_custom_1599643755796\"><div class=\"sub-h decor-h\"><span>Direct speech<\/span><\/div><h2 class=\"heading\"><i>Opinion leaders about Magic World<\/i><\/h2><\/div>        <div class=\"testimonials testimonials-6a6103ac6d22d cols-2  wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_fadeInUp fadeInUp with-pagination-dots\">\r\n            \r\n        <div class=\"testimonial-item\">\r\n                            <div class=\"quote\">We started Magic World.UA Project in 2015 because we saw a problem: despite the fact that Ukrainian mythology is one of the richest in the world, its characters are almost not visualized, little-known and are out of the modern cultural context.<\/div>\r\n                            <div class=\"bottom\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"avatar\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/magicworld.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/lysytskiy_square.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n                                            <div class=\"label\">\r\n                            <div class=\"cell\">- Nick Lysytskiy, project initiator<\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n        <div class=\"testimonial-item\">\r\n                            <div class=\"quote\">Each nation needs its own Magic World with myths and characters to bring up its future generation.
