Baltic festival of creativity “Flowers of Ukraine”

More than 15 million ethnic Ukrainians live outside Ukraine – almost a third of all Ukrainians in the world. Ukrainian diasporas carefully cherish the centuries-old traditions of the Ukrainian people and pass them on to the next generations. Ukrainians abroad do not lose their roots, love Ukraine and gladly speak their native language.

International festivals of children’s creativity are an ideal platform for developing cultural contacts, getting to know world cultural achievements and strengthening friendship and mutual understanding among Ukrainian children from different countries.

Thanks to such events, major goals are achieved in a creative atmosphere:

• promoting Ukrainian creativity;
• strengthening international ties and cooperation, preservation and development;
• of Ukrainian national culture abroad;
• establishing creative contacts between groups and leaders from different countries in the field of the arts;
• creating an environment and conditions for creative communication among Ukrainian young people living in different countries.

In Estonia, the Ukrainian diaspora is the second largest of the national minorities registered in the country.

The International Festival of Children’s and Youth Creativity “Flowers of Ukraine” (Estonia) has been held by the Association of Ukrainian Organisations in Estonia and the Ukrainian Youth Association in Estonia since 2001.

Every child who creates deserves the highest recognition of their abilities, efforts and striving for self-expression and personal development through art – the organisers of “Flowers of Ukraine” are convinced of this. On the stage where young artists show their art, there are no better or worse – only unique, gifted children and their talented teachers, so all participants will return from the festival as winners! The festival’s aim is to bring joy, happiness and national pride into children’s lives and let them feel like real artists!

We are pleased to announce that despite the obstacles related to the pandemic, the 21st festival of children’s and youth creativity “Flowers of Ukraine – 2021” will take place after all!
