A szervezet leírása

The Ukrainian Cultural Center (UCC) is located side by side and operates together with Labora Workshops and the Tallinn School of Calligraphy.

The UCC provides a place where local Ukrainians can preserve their language, culture, and traditions. The organisation serves as both a community center and a Sunday school for the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic parish in Estonia. The center also makes it possible for Estonians and visitors from other nationalities to learn more about the Ukrainian culture and diaspora.

Even though we are dedicated to introducing the Ukrainian cultural heritage, it is far from being our only aim. The UCC has a wider focus on development and protection of disappearing traditions, cultures, crafts, and endangered nature. We depict them and capture their uniqueness in handmade books.

Since protecting ancient traditions and disappearing techniques is one of our main aims, we regularly organize workshops and courses that teach a number of different medieval arts and crafts. Our courses and workshops are organized for children and adults alike in Estonian, Russian, English, and Ukrainian. They include papermaking, calligraphy, bookmaking, letterpress printing, and traditional woodwork.

The UCC organizes exhibitions to promote the ethnography of Ukraine. It participates in the Old Town Days and other similar events. We have initiated and are in charge of several international projects connected to the protection of unique cultures and endangered animals and plants.
