Solutions to win: Mukachevo hosts charity half-marathon to purchase trucks for military
After moving to Northern Ireland, Ukrainian children found themselves far from their familiar surroundings. Organizers note that for children experiencing the consequences of war and displacement, preserving childhood, friendships, their native language, a sense of belonging, and a link to home is essential.
Opening the school became the first educational project of this format in Belfast.
The Ukrainian community created a Sunday school where children can study the Ukrainian language, culture, history, and traditions.
Separately, the project offers a space for parents and Ukrainian families. Organizers emphasize the importance of their support, as it helped launch the educational initiative and directly benefits Ukrainian children and families.
Classes will take place at the Ukrainian Sunday school in Belfast. Here, children will also be able to play, laugh, talk, and make friends. In this way, the organizers want to offer them a space to gradually adapt to the changes brought about by war and relocation.
13 September, children gathered at the school. For some, it was simply the first school line of the new academic year, while for others, it was the first such event in their lives.
As the community noted, they designed the project to be more than just a place for lessons. The school aims to provide a safe and welcoming environment where every child feels heard and where their feelings matter.
Background
It should be noted that a Ukrainian Sunday school named after Taras Shevchenko opened in the German city of Essen ahead of September 1. Children there will study the language, history, and culture of Ukraine, preserving a connection to their heritage.
