As part of the national project “Side by Side: United Communities,” a virtual tour was held of the Museum of Ukrainian Folk Life and the Museum of Vyshyvankas at Kostiantynivka Secondary School No. 6
This event served as a space for unity between students and teachers from the Kostiantynivka community in Donetsk Oblast and the Taras Shevchenko Gymnasium in the Oleksandriya community of Kirovohrad Oblast.
Despite the distance, participants were able to come together in a shared cultural space to experience the power of traditions and the depth of Ukrainian heritage. During the tour, attendees immersed themselves in the world of Ukrainian life, familiarizing themselves with unique exhibits and authentic embroidered shirts presented on the interactive Padlet board. Each element of the exhibition told its own story about family values, work, faith, and love for the homeland.
What was particularly valuable was that students had the opportunity to discover the richness of Ukrainian culture without leaving home, while feeling a living connection with one another. Such interaction not only broadens horizons but also strengthens spiritual unity, fosters respect for national traditions, and inspires us to preserve them for the future.
This warm gathering once again united the hearts of the communities and fostered a sense of unity despite the distance. Sharing knowledge of traditions, culture, and history fills hearts with warmth, strengthens mutual understanding, and inspires people to preserve Ukrainian heritage, passing it down from generation to generation.
