This year, the whole world has learned that Ukraine is a country of brave people.  

Now, we have a chance to tell foreigners about how Ukrainians became who they are. We can share our culture, identity, history, and values. That is why Ukrainian Institute and EdEra have developed a free online course "Ukrainian Culture: Understanding the Country and Its People." 

In this short course, ten scholars from various disciplines present ten topics, covering essential aspects of Ukrainian culture. Understanding contemporary events requires knowledge of the cultural and social foundation of modern Ukrainian society. The Ukrainian nation formed over centuries.  Each devoted to a particular angle, these videos together reveal how past events, including external political and cultural domination by imperial powers, shaped Ukrainian society.  In addition to the video lectures, the course provides learners with original sources – literature, texts, video links, and online resources that touch upon a range of issues of Ukrainian culture. Each of these will give you a balanced and nuanced knowledge of Ukrainian culture, identities, and society. 

The course is free. Register, learn, and share: http://bit.ly/3UEleDG 

The online course “Ukrainian Culture: Understanding the Country and Its People” has been developed by the Ukrainian Institute and online education studio EdEra with the financial support of the International Renaissance Foundation.
