Diaspora, especially Ukrainian forced migrants after the First and Second World Wars, managed to save their lives and the national culture, which they continued to nurture and create in exile, at the cost of titanic efforts. To encourage them to return home, which the Moscow occupier continues to invade, is an extremely urgent task. But do we know enough about our culture?
Why is it important today to talk about those who created Ukrainian culture in the conditions of our statelessness? Because it’s TIME to know ours!
Why should we think about those who advocate knowledge about us in the world? Because it is TIME for the world to get to know Ukraine, and for Ukrainians to be proud of themselves!
After all, we are on the threshold of a new historical era – we are creating our Ukrainian global world together!
The podcast is about these issues! It is a kind of a virtual tour of a living museum of the Ukrainian world, available on all major streaming platforms.
The event will be moderated by the co-authors and presenters of the project, Nazar Danchyshyn and Romaniia Strotska, IECDR employees. The event will take place in the modern Student Space «3rd floor» (Scientific and Technical Library of Lviv Polytechnic, 3 Mytropolyta Andreya St.).
Let’s create an environment for young people filled with values! Lviv Polytechnic is open to the boldest humanitarian initiatives!
Free entrance. The event starts at 13:30.
