ХVI Міжнародна літня школа
Української мови та країнознавства

The International Online Summer School “Ukrainian Language and Country Studies”
July 17 to 29, 2023

WHY STUDY UKRAINIAN PER SE?

Ukrainian is the language that opens the door to a young state with written documents that are a thousand years old, its unique culture, turbulent history, and national folk singing that is famous around the world.
It is the language spoken by more than 50 million open-hearted, hospitable people.
This is the language of a strategic partner in the political and economic life of the world.

WHY STUDY IN L’VIV?

L’viv is considered to be the spiritual capital of Ukraine. Here Ukrainian comes to its own right as the language of all spheres, of cultural and social life.

 L’viv is one of the most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe, and is located at the intersection of various nations.

 L’viv is known for its mosaic culture: Ukrainians, Poles, Germans, Armenians, and Jews have created its intricate and paradoxical, yet harmonious, world.

This is a city that is an open-air museum though at the same time a modern city of students, artists, and actors.

WHY STUDY AT THE CENTRE FOR UKRAINIAN STUDIES?

The Centre is staffed by professionals from one of the most authoritative scientific and educational establishments of Ukraine – Ivan Franko National University of L’viv.

L’viv University has a long-standing tradition of teaching Ukrainian language and Ukrainian literature. This is the very institution where the first department of Ukrainian philology was established (in 1848).
