Even far from home, Donetsk region continues to preserve its cultural heritage.
The Donetsk Regional Center for Tourism and Local History of Youth has been successfully relocated and continues its work in Kropyvnytskyi. Here, they preserve the history of their native land, the memory of Donetsk region, its traditions, and educate a new generation that knows and values its roots.
The center was relocated in time and did not stop operating. It managed to save part of its property, educational materials, equipment, and most importantly — its team, which continues working with children from Donetsk region.
For internally displaced students, the center offers classes in national-patriotic education, local history, and tourism. These activities help maintain a connection with their homeland, history, and identity — something that must not be lost because of the war.
A video about the center’s work, its team, and visits to the facility follows.
