As part of the national project “Side by Side: United Communities,” an online event was held with the participation of cultural workers from the Sokalska City Community in Lviv Oblast and the Udachnenska Settlement Community in Donetsk Oblast.
The main theme of the meeting was pysanka—one of the oldest and most richly symbolic forms of Ukrainian art. The event aimed not only to exchange experiences but also to strengthen cultural ties between the communities through the preservation of national identity.
Under the professional guidance of Olga Chesak, deputy director of the Sokal Public Library for Children, cultural workers from both communities created Easter pysanky by hand. Traditional materials and tools were used in the process: beeswax, egg-painting pens, blown eggs, food coloring, vinegar, candles, and pencils.
Holding such an event was not only a creative occasion but also an important step in strengthening partnerships between the communities, exchanging experiences, and promoting Ukrainian cultural heritage.
