One of the Association’s main areas of work is the work of its member societies with children and young people. From the very first years of the Ukrainian communities, Sunday and Saturday schools, in-depth language classes, and creative and amateur art groups were opened in several cities.
Today four Ukrainian weekend schools operate at the Association and its member organisations:
- Tallinn – “Nadija” Ukrainian Sunday School
Classes: Saturdays 10:00–14:00, Nafta tn 6-2, Tallinn. Pupils aged 6–18; tuition is free.

All four schools are registered in the Estonian Education Information System (EHIS). The Nadija and CYM schools are also verified by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and included in the register of Ukrainian educational centres abroad (AIKOM). Learning results of the CYM school in Ukrainian studies subjects (grades 1–9) are recognised in Ukraine.
The Prosvita society was the first to open a Ukrainian class in the community. Prosvita’s pupils and teachers later formed the core of the Nadija Sunday school at the Association, which continues to operate successfully today.
In 2011, a class for in-depth study of the Ukrainian language was opened at Tallinn Mustamäe Gymnasium; it operated for four years.
The Sunday school of the Ukrainian community “Vodohray” was the first school of its kind in Estonia to receive a licence from the Ministry of Education and Research to teach the native language.
Several international seminars “Ukrainian Education in Estonia” were held at the Ukrainian Sunday school in Sillamäe and its branch in Tartu (until 2018) with lecturers from the universities of Tallinn, Tartu and Kyiv.
took place on 10 March 2004. The Ukrainian Youth Association in Estonia (CYM) traditionally coordinates work with the younger generation: besides its activities in Estonia, it supports international campaigns and the participation of young people in international camps, festivals and volunteering.
We invite children and young people to the meetings of CYM’s junior and senior youth groups!
Join our classes and events – we welcome children and adults alike!
