Resumo: The hosting organization provides a place where local Ukrainians can preserve their language, culture, and traditions. The organization 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 Ukrainian culture and diaspora.
The hosting organization has a wider focus on the development and protection of disappearing traditions, cultures, crafts, and endangered nature. The uniqueness is captured in handmade books.
Since protecting ancient traditions and disappearing techniques is one of their main aims, they regularly organize workshops and courses that teach a number of different medieval arts and crafts. 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 hosting organization organizes exhibitions to promote the ethnography of Ukraine. It participates in the Old Town Days and other similar events. The organization finds it very important that people supporting the aims of the hosting organization could contribute to the projects, share their knowledge and learn from our experience. The organization is a flexible organisation, always open for new ideas and projects.
