Organisation description
The Ukrainian Institute of Sweden (Ukrainska Institutet i Sverige), founded in 2014, fills the huge gap in knowledge and understanding of Ukraine through culture and different events. It is a gathering platform for both Swedes and Ukrainians, which strengthens awareness of Ukraine’s meaningful cultural heritage and rich cultural life. We work to further reinforce Swedish-Ukrainian cultural connections. We believe that understanding each other’s culture and cooperating in this field constitute key elements of our society’s ability to withstand any future threat. Our role is unique ─ we are the first Ukraine-centric organization to become an associated member of the European Union National Institutes for Culture (Stockholm cluster) in 2015, and within this network we have become an integrated part of the European cultural scene.
