Culture

The Ukrainian language and culture have become especially important today, as Ukraine fights for its right to independence in the war with Russia. They are an integral part of every Ukrainian’s self-determination and a guide to our will for independence and freedom.

The organizations that are part of the Association organize themed concerts, literary and chamber evenings, vocal competitions, city cultural and educational events, exhibitions, conferences, and other activities for children and adults.
