The senior and junior groups of girls performed the dance “To Mother”, and the boys danced breakdance. All members of the group also joined the worldwide flash mob in support of Ukraine, “WE NEED A PEACEFUL SKY”.

On 16 September the Ukrainian community Spohad (Paide) joined the campaign “Let’s Clean Up Paide”.

World Cleanup Day is a global civic initiative that started in Estonia.

The International Festival of Creativity “Northern Star 2023” has been held by the Association of Ukrainian Organisations in Estonia and the Ukrainian Youth Association in Estonia with the support of the Estonian Ministry of Culture and the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Estonia since 2001.

21.12.2023 The Ukrainian association “Spohad” organised the celebration “Good evening to good people”. It was a thank-you to the town of Paide, and above all to the people of Paide who have helped and supported refugees since the beginning of the war. 

Dances, songs, carols, games, master classes in making varenyky and traditional dishes (kutia, varenyky, holubtsi, vinehret, uzvar, korovai, pancakes, pies). All this to introduce Estonia to our Ukrainian traditions, atmosphere and customs and to celebrate Christmas together!

23.12.2023, with the support of the town of Paide, a New Year event was held for Ukrainian children and their mothers. Fun games, songs, dances, a round dance, Santa and two charming Mrs Clauses (organisers from the Ukrainian community Spohad) made the event magical, emotional and friendly. The children had fun, received sweet presents, and there was also a festive lunch and dessert.
