Ukrainian diaspora education

Nearly four years of emigration have become a reality for millions of Ukrainian families. Many left with children of different ages in haste, without a clear understanding of how long this “temporary” situation would last. For some children, school life began abroad — the first day at school, first friends, first notebooks in another language. This experience inevitably shapes a new identity, and in many cases children begin to speak a foreign language more confidently than their native one.

Ten schools and educational centers across Denmark have joined the Roots and Wings program, an initiative of the Pylyp Orlyk Foundation aimed at introducing Ukrainian history as a separate subject in diaspora classrooms.
