Activities of the Association

Since its founding in 1992, the scope of the association's activities has expanded significantly to include new priorities:

Educational work and preservation of traditions:

Ukrainian Saturday School “Nasha Shkola”: Opened by the association in October 2009 in Heidelberg:

The school offers Ukrainian language lessons for children and young people aged 4 to 16, as well as teaching regional studies, history, literature, customs, and culture. As of 2020, around 60 children attend the school.

Event formats:

The association regularly organizes lectures, exhibitions, panel discussions on Ukrainian history, culture, and other relevant topics, as well as master classes.

Cooperation:

We actively cooperate with municipal institutions in Heidelberg, such as the Council for Foreigners and Migrants, the International Center, and the International Parents' Association of Heidelberg. We also cooperate with the International Building Order (Bauorden) and the Children's Aid Society of Ukraine (Kinderhilfe Ukraine für Novograd-Volynskyj e.V., Ludwigshafen). We are participants in the International Center's Allianz der Vielfalt project.

Participation in city events and projects:

The association actively participates in city initiatives such as “Allianz der Vielfalt,” “Bildungslotse,” International Week Against Racism, International Holidays, and others.

Projects:

• Center for Displaced Persons and Refugees “Help Dnipro”: Located in the city of Dnipro, Ukraine, this center has been receiving material and financial support from our association since 2014, since the beginning of the full-scale war in eastern Ukraine.
• Collecting donations and providing humanitarian aid to those in need in Ukraine.
• Initiatives of Association's Members

Our members are also actively developing their own initiatives:

Several years ago, our folk dance group “Malvy” was formed, which preserves and promotes Ukrainian folk dance.
In early 2019, parents of the Ukrainian Saturday school devoted themselves to sports and founded a soccer team.
Important Events

Our society was a founding member at the constituent assembly of the “Association of Ukrainian Organizations in Germany,” which took place in October 2012 in Berlin.
