A Ukrainian mother for Ukrainian children

 
Integration workshops for children from Polish and Ukrainian classes.

To destroy a nation, the first thing the enemy does is destroy that nation’s culture.
What is culture, and who is its carrier?
Culture is a combination of human knowledge, beliefs, and standards of behaviour, which we acquire and then pass on to future generations.
And thus bombardment and shooting of civilians, and of maternity hospitals, in our Ukraine—this is intentional destruction of a nation. Because the main carrier of our culture throughout the world is the WOMAN, the MOTHER, who conveys the nation’s code to her children through her milk. First through language, lullabies and fairy tales, later through epics, ballads, legends, folk songs, dance, traditions, customs, poetry, music, theatre, decorative arts, cuisine, folk costumes, and much more.
We start with Ukrainian literary language, because language is the identifier of a people.
There will also be Ukrainian lullabies. But before we start to learn lullabies, we will make a traditional Ukrainian motanka doll. So there’s someone to rock in the cradle while we sing a lullaby….
