Ukrainian Culture Goes Global

In an ongoing effort to promote Ukrainian culture internationally, the office of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced the launch of Ukrainian-language audio guides in various European institutions and the opening of new Ukrainian bookshelves across the continent. The news was shared through the official website of the President of Ukraine.

Since the start of this year, visitors to five prominent European locations can now experience tours in Ukrainian. These venues include the Hof van Busleyden Museum in Belgium, the Einstein Museum in Switzerland, the Junibacken Children’s Museum in Sweden, sightseeing cruises in the Helsinki Archipelago in Finland, and the Mauthausen Memorial in Austria. This initiative not only helps Ukrainian tourists feel more at home abroad but also spreads Ukrainian heritage and history internationally.

Furthering the cultural exchange, 25 new Ukrainian bookshelves have been established in various European countries. These shelves are stocked with Ukrainian literature, offering locals and tourists alike a chance to delve into the rich literary world of Ukraine. Olena Zelenska, the First Lady of Ukraine, has been instrumental in these efforts, focusing on enhancing the global presence of Ukrainian culture and language.

This cultural outreach comes at a time when Ukraine is increasingly asserting its identity on the global stage, making significant strides in promoting its language and heritage worldwide.
